Shattergreen looks unusual.  What kind of narcissus is it?

Thanks for posting that link, Arnold.
The next pic down on that page is of 'Virivest' which is in flower here now!
These two pics were taken about a week apart and shows the early colour fading from dark to light green

I have a question for you Fermi. Did this Narcissus come from you? I'm afraid I negligently forgot to write the source on the label and now I can't remember from whence it came.

Sorry, Jamus, I don't recognise the name as one of mine.
It's a fine flower though!
cheers

Great to see the daffies in flower down in the Southern Hemisphere now that we’re all dormant and under ground here in the UK.

I was recently prompted to check on the progress of my Narcissus albimarginatus seedlings, sown in 2016, 4 seedlings germinated and since 2018 3 bulbs have reappeared every year. I’m pretty pleased with the results and hope that the largest bulb at 20mm might be of flowering size. Would love to see the flowers of this rare beauty.

Other than myself, I only know of 4 others cultivating it. I’m sure there are others growing it, but it does seem to be a fickle little thing. So far these seedlings have done well on benign neglect. No doubt they’ll dwindle if it start to pamper them! I’m just hoping to get some flowers so I can make more seed of it.
