On first glance it looks like a very swanky bonsai!
I thought bad hair day. It's been raining on it Jamus?
I have young seedlings of Ferula communis 'Glauca' which flowered at about 2 metres high, very spectacular and masses of seed to follow but they took 8 years to flower. Might be dead before the present batch get that far!
Your Narc. 'Ben Bler' looks very like 'Atlas Gold' and seems to have the same bloom time. Mine AG is just about out now.
The weather has gone haywire again. 20C yesterday one day after winter solstice and supposed to reach 10 today but only 6C so far.

Lesley I don't think it's Atlas Gold. I have that one and it is sleeping, not even above ground. Otto wouldn't make that mistake I don't think, and it came from him.
Perhaps my photo is making it appear more golden, with the back lighting or something like that?
ps. The Ferula does have that weeping kind of habit, not it wasn't wet when I took that photo. It's nice isn't it?

No Jamus, I wasn't thinking your BB may actually BE AG. It was just the colour which looks the same on my screen anyway, I always feel AG is the prettiest yellow, not the harsh colour of the bulbocodiums but more definite that Nylon and the other early birds. And no, certainly Otto wouldn't make such a mistake.
I have a nice picture somewhere of AG cups on a bed of snow and they have been filled with rain or melted snow, then frozen.

I think AG is the prettiest yellow, not so harsh as the bulbocodiums but more definite than the early birds such as 'Nylon.' AG is shorter anyway and NO, Otto wouldn't have made such a mistake.
