Here are the two I have. I will take more pics over the weekend. The first one is the cuckoo.

I think mine is like yours Franz but I'll need to wait several more months before I can check properly. This is a pic I took about 6 months ago.

I remember it as being a little more gold than that but not sure now. And now I look at Anthony's again, maybe mine is a cuckoo as well! >:(

Well Lesley, if it is a cuckoo, it's an exceptionally pretty one!

Wow.  Isn't it just beautiful!!  Elegant flower to it.  Haven't seen it before I think.  Thanks for the pics.

My second flower is what I expect to see for cuatrecasassii. The cuckoo is definitely rupicola according to Blanchard.

Here is Narcissus nevadensis
Thanks to Tony G.


Mark: if your daffodil was from northern Spain I would say N. nobilis, but if it is a cultivar I can't tell you a name - sorry  ???

Mark, looks a lot like N.nobilis var nobilis in the MBC catalogue, but that is only a guess as I know very little about them
Cheers,

nobilis seem to be correct. I was at Brian Duncan's today with Anne Wright. He has an identical Narcissus that he has labelled as N. n. primagenius

Here's a wee taster of Brian's miniatures. He has just flowered the first miniature double. I'm not really in to doubles, split coronas or pinks but I adore this little beauty
