Thank you Tony,

First, I identified the species as N. confusus because 200m dawn there were some of them. But in the top of the mountain the species is  N. pseudonarcissus ssp. nobilis between N. rupicola.

Beautiful blooms, Gerd.

Tony W.,
After looking back to your Narcissus nobilis from Port de Portalet (febr. 19th) I ask myself whether this is the same plant as my Narcissus bicolor (febr. 21th) which I received some years ago with the label: Narc. spec. Col de Pourtalet?
I identified mine as " bicolor " according the position of the stamens (Blanchard: inserted at or only just above the base) - but, the coronas of your plants are much longer.
Is Portalet = Pourtalet? - Do both species co-occure?

Gerd

I have no idea as to the answer to your question on identifying the species.I get my information on where to find plants mostly from Scottish Rock and AGS bulletins and then try and confirm the identities of plants I find with knowledgeable friends.I was told that it was nobilis and I think the place is the same as yours came from. The narcissus seem very confused  and here are two more pictures of alpestris which will add to it. The yellow one is from the same site as the white one and is not the yellow form from Cerler which as Rafa pointed out comes with a different name..
