Can someone ID this one for me please. It is growing in a neighbours garden and I would like to acquire some.
30-35cm tall with between three and six flowers on each stem.
Hi Michael,
it looks to me like the hybrid between N.tazetta and N,jonquilla known as N. intermedius. If it is it's a vigorous one, at least in our garden -I wish I could bring you some!
cheers

Can anyone identify this Narcissus? t was in the garden when we arrived. It has a similar slender form and habit to N. 'Thalia' but has a yellow trumpet.

Two wild hybrids

Top: ‘Narcissus x ubriquensis’      
N. cordubensis x N. triandrus pallidulus. Divisions from Mike Salmon’s original collection (MS434/1); Spain, Ubrique.  This name  is not recognised by either Blanchard or Kew; ‘Daffseek’ regard it as a synonym for  N. x incurvicervicus.

A gift from Kurt Vickery

Bottom: Narcissus x incurvicervicus
N. fernandesii x N. triandrus cernuus.
No data

Forgot to mention: only one flower per stem, unlike N. 'Thalia'

Narcissus rupicola subsp. watieri grown outdoors here in Kent. I read that it is a snow-melt species so grew it like the specie Tulips.

Lovely full flowered watieri, Ralph.  That is the form we grow and used to exhibit. There is another form around with rather pinched and twisted petals that I do not find attractive. You can see a large pot of that in the Perth Show pages.
