Here's a new one to me.

Narcissus primigenius.

Can anyone help with an id for this narcissus. I don't know if it is a named variety or a hybrid. Originally found in an old abandond Mill garden, the site not oocuppied for about 80+ years.I would be grateful for any information or links.

Looks like "Van Sion"

Agreed, the filled trumpet is the giveaway.

It looks like a poeticus, but the flowering time is strange.
I got it some years ago from an old garden. It flowers for the first time this year.
It had been growing in a rather shadowed site in my garden. In mid October the leaves was well developed and the flower bud was visible.
I thought it was a tazetta and didn't expect it to survive the winter outside, so I pottet it in a large pot and placed it in a frost free glasshouse (+2^oC)
The flower opened at the end of March at the same time as a pot of Rijnveldts Early Sensation, which I have in the same glasshouse. So it is obvious not a poeticus.

Very interesting history to this old bulb- going back to the 17th Century.   Should make us all feel  very youthful

A lovely poeticus flower- just flowering in its own time. I have always found Narcissus poeticus to be unpredictable.

Your estimate is enough! Nice little thing. The daff that is.
