Which narcissus?

I saw this beauty in the gardens at Howick Hall on Saturday, I'd love to have one of these or just to know the name!

Since there is already a subject title for Narcissus i'll post my query here.

Any idea of the name of this plant currently in bloom---Ta .

Very interesting concerning the flowering time! Was it a single deviant flower from a group?
Maybe it is a Narcissus serotinus/miniatus hybrid - Harold Koopowitz raised similar plants.
Is there an opportunity to receive some background information from Howick Hall?
