Any idea of the name of this Narcissus, from Antalya Turkey. It seems an old hybrid that is growing everywhere. 60cm

Your narcissus looks multi-headed for me. I remember a daffodil blooming in my garden now. Double flowered mutant of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis.
It's a very common and traditional daffodil here and said that reached Japan from Mediterranean in ancient times by the Silk Road. Perhaps your daffodil from Turkey has some relevance to this one ::)

I just love the snippets of history surrounding bulbs like this one.  8)

Thanks a lot Anne, seems I have to start to weed  - those are all from my garden. ;)
I do not know if they flower in the wild now as none of them are native on the Balearic Islands.
OOps! It does look very natural... ;D

Narcissus  albidus

Derived from a collection by Mike Salmon & Mark Fillan (SF 110),
Morocco, Middle Atlas, Afourer.

Narcissus romieuxii subsp. albidus (Emb. & Maire) A.Fern. is the name accepted by Kew

Under my conditions, the flowers of this form appear somewhat more substantial than those of the Wallis’ form (RRW 8853) also from Afourer (see post 26 above).

N. albidus ex SF110 is a really good group, Gerry. It also gives some very nice seedlings!

Another flower from seed from a cantabricus x zaianicus hybrid

Narcissus hybrid sown 2008  - I've shown this one before but it's still brightening up the greenhouse these dull days
