Bob Brown of Cotswold Garden Flowers once described King Alfred daffodils as a "social minefield" - whatever that is. Well, I love them! You can almost hear them sounding a fanfare for Spring!

Possibly because the name is usually applied to any unidentified 1-YY (yellow trumpet, yellow petals) or in the case of your pic, any yellow trumpet with white or yellow petals!

Very Spring- like today here, mild and sunny. Here is Narcissus cordubensis, from Anne Wright, and Narcissus perez-chiscanoi from Nick Macer (which I am told is a synonym of Narcissus confusus, or possibly Narcissus hispanicus!)

A couple of "cheap and cheerful" daffs: 'King Alfred', which was here in the garden when we moved here 20 years ago, and 'St Keverne'

A unique little hybrid, Anne :D Does it smell?
Hoping you enjoy the show with your daffs ;)

They similar to your Narcissus 'Candlepower' x cyclamineus but look larger than yours.
