These petunioid forms are so different. I must make a note.

That is a very nice Narcissus.  Do you have a large collection?

In the greenhouse today Narcissus asturiensis SP47, from Brian Duncan.

Outdoors the first N. ‘February Gold’ ? are rather early this year, after a relatively cool autumn turning milder recently.

Thanks Dominique; you're right.  Unfortunately I've lost track of what it is.

And doesn't it have the nicest perfume?  N. assoanus is one of my favourites for perfume...... mine smells sort of like a distillation of the tazettas/jonquillas etc, but without the cloying overtones that so many of those have.  It's like it has got all the best bits and got rid of the worst bits, all packed together into such delicate little flowers.  I can almost smell it just looking at the name of it.  ;) ;D
Cheers.

Here is (hopefully) a picture of a narcissus romieuxii of some kind flowering now in my unheated green house. I got it from Brian Duncan. Could it be mesatlanticus ?. There are more bulbs in the pot that are only just showing green tips. I am not sure if they are the same kind though.
