Still plenty of colour on show from the Narcissus:

N. assoanus
N. bulbocodium 'Golden Bells'
Narcissus 'Solveig's Song'
N. poeticus hellenicus
A tazetta jonquil type that has come up in a pot of 'Queen of Spain' - any suggestions as to ID?

Hard to see the scale of it, Matt - is it bigger than a N. rupicola?

Yes, sorry, that might help. Much bigger than N. rupicola, about 13" high and the flower is 1 3/4" across. The leaves are not flat, I guess they'd be more or less semi-circular in cross-section and are ridged on the undersides. Lovely scent.

The Div 7 hybrid 'Sun disc' perhaps?

'Sun Disc'  comes to mind, yes.

 Kokopelli is  reliably multi-headed, I think.

I believe that bulbs are slower into growth, because there is less of a contrast between our summer and autumn temperatures out here in the far west. So they flower later with us, despite our generally milder climate. However, I have also been out collecting ripe Narcissus seed today (N. romieuxii), so some plants do perform early with us.

Hi
Can anyone tell me what this dwarf narcissus is? It is 6 inches tall and lemon in colour. The leaves are a light green, very thin and grass like. The Binny label refers to a different plant.

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos.
Thanks
Bob
