The rest of the photos are to show what a huge variation in size, as well as colour there is in the various N. triandrus forms. Please jump in if you think I have the names incorrect.

Anne, tremendous to see all your spring daffs!
Here's the latest of our autumn flowerers, Narcissus 07-02T (N.tazetta ssp lacticolor x N.elegans) which we got from Lawrence Trevanion a few years ago
cheers

Stunning contrast in colour.

These are two tazettas, the first one is a collection of Theo Sanders from Figueras/Spain. It is hardy here in the north and also free flowering.
The second one is Narcissus canaliculatus - from the trade and it builts only flowers after a warm and dry resting periode is given

Wow, you've got flowers from canaliculatus ?! I've got this commercial clone since maybe 20 years and never saw any flower It just multiply somewhere, I remember it only when I see its leaves and forget it just a minute later.
I've also Narcissus tazetta from southern France, and it is flowering every year and set seeds, a quite tall form with stalk of ~50 cm.

Yvain,
The trick to obtain flowering N. canaliculatus is 3 months in a box with artificial heat (ca. 25° C) during summer - nothing more
