Oron,
Once again I admire your great collection!

Maybe your orange coloured 'hybrid' has an unusual petal colour caused by unknown variant factors. I observed this phenomenon
also with 'normal' orange N. miniatus/obsoletus.

Hi Gerd

Many thanks for your comments,

I grow the Orange form which you have shown earlier.  Mine differs in the number of flowers, the size of inner petals and the way they are facing up but more than any thing else it is about half the size of the 'Normal' Orange form. This makes me think of an hybrid but off course you may be right that it is some kind of a variant factor.

Crumbs, do you get seed from these Oron? I do like the one with the orange stripe.

Anthony, most of the Narcissus produce seeds but as they grow side by side  i might have hybrids therefor i prefer growing them from division.

Here is my preferred, N. tazzeta x obsoletus.
It is a rare, natural hybrid from north Israel. It is sterile but luckily divides well for me and is highly scented.

Must try reproducing it here, if I can get both species to flower.

For being "a clanger", Narcissus romieuxii 'Craigton Clanger' looks way too nice.

This one flowered in March of this year and now he's at it again: Narcissus 'Mitimoto'

Seed of Narcissus Jessamy sown many years ago flowered for the first time this week.
Generally don't have much luck with narcissus, narcissus flies usually find them, this one has done wellto escape.

Narcissus albidus foliosus looking a bit odd.  Not enough light here for autumn blooming narcissi :'(

1 + 2. Some years ago I bought this as Narcissus cavanillesii, which it isn't. I think it is a form of cantabricus, but not foliosus as the pedicel is very short. I have grown it unprotected in a south facing bed for about 5 years.

3. Narcissus 'Cedric Morris' in an open frame. It is early this year.
