That's a nice one Anthony. I don't really like the pinky ones but this has an attractive "set" to it. By which I mean that it is nicely displayed on its stem.

Fantastic 'Bilbo'! We finalli have caught up with the season in Europe. Here is N.calcicola looking gigantic in the picture, in fact a bit taller than a match box.

And here in the Southern hemisphere the early winter ones are starting!
Here's what I got as narcissus cantabricus ssp foliosus:
68423-0

68425-1
They almost went unnoticed due to the encroachment of the Origanum "Kent Beauty" - which needs to be trimmed back!
