I don't think it fits as a mini, Anne,
more like an intermediate or standard jonquil type, raised by Glenbrook

A friend in NZ has flowering this one as Narcissus fernandesii
I am not sure for the name but it is nicely perfumed
Who has an idea

Insofar as one can judge from a photo it could well be N fernandesii (based on Blanchard's descriptions). N.cordubensis is a possibility - which some people place under N. fernandesii.

Roland - Narcissus seem to be very variable. Have a look at Blanchard p82. For N. cordubensis see Blanchard in AGS Bull. 66 [3], Sept 1998, p 330. I think I would go for N. cordubensis in the case of your flower (though not with complete confidence!).

Yesterday I visited a friend of mine, Doug Bryce, with whom I've been exchanging daffs for years; he wanted to show me some of the Div 6s he's got in flower;
First an unnamed one from Glenbrook Bulb Farms  (I didn't get the number)
The Alliance
Betsy MacDonald
Tweedle Dee ( Div 5)
cheers

Some fine narcissi, Fermi!
Much more northern there are also the first ones in flower: Narcissus obsoletus.

Hi
A few flowers that are currently flowering in our daffodil beds.
I have not been posting this year because I have upgraded my computer and software and been away on holidays. I have not figured out how to make some of my photos less than 200kb. It was all so easy with my last lot of software.

Hi Graham,
Great to see your photos again.  By the  way, "holiday" - what's that?!!

You may well find that by reducing your forum photos to a max. of 760 pixels wide they will come under the 200kb limit  and retain good quality.
