Does anyone know what this is? I've been given a clump, sans name, as usual.  ::)

I'll be able to answer these questions later today. It's being delivered to me this afternoon. All I have at this stage is this picture.

Edit: about 300-350 tall, single flower per stem. Flowers have a characteristic nodding habit.

It looks like an old variety - try looking at Croft 16's website at http://croft16daffodils.co.uk

It looks like a nice Div.2. I did take a quick scan through Croft 16, with plenty similar but not the same  :-\

Kate Donald describes these old 'incomparabilis' types as the LBJs of the plant world. LBJ is a bird watching term meaning 'Little Brown Jobs' used to describe all those small brown birds that are frustratingly alike and difficult to identify.  ;D

Having trapped moths for many a year, I had many a moth LBJ in the trap.

Hi Eric, that does look like a good match. I might settle on that for a name. Thank you.

No, silly, it's a Narcissus, not a lily! ;D

Eric, do accept my apologies. You'll learn very quickly on this Forum that a few of us will poke fun at anyone and everything. It's never malicious and we hope you can have a giggle too.. And welcome to the Forum - the hard way. ;D
