Here are my latest daff to flower, if anyone has any ideas on the unknown please fell free to advise.
It has been a busy week.
I would like to know about the double that has remained in the trumpet shape, named Narcissus double-star-does this happen often, it is the first time I have had this one flower.
The lovely citrinus is with thanks from Leslie, it really is a lovely hoop.

Hello Fermi,
your Narcissus looks exactly like N. hispanicus var. maximus I have.
The stem looks a bit short but this can be due growing conditions. The height is usual ~30-35cm.
But don't ask me if the correct taxonomi is N. hispanicus var. hispanicus or N. pseudonarcissus ssp. major or something different... 
Help is welcome!

[Lesley Cox]

Glad you have 'Yimkin' Kees. It's a delight form plant and special to us because it was raised here in Dunedin many years ago by the late Carl Teschner, who lived in Montague Street in the NE Valley. All of which reminds me that I haven't seen mine this year. I must go and have a good look for it.

[Lesley Cox]

Graham, thanks so much for posting those especially for me. It was sweet of you and you're right of course. Deep down I DO like split cups. Deep, deep, way down deep.....

Aha! Lesley, I thought you might be a closet-split lover!
More daffs in the garden,
Narcissus "Cyclataz", the parent of "Quince", "Jumblie" and "Tete-a-Tete",



Some jonquilla hybrids, "Buffawn" and "Hesla"


Some "exhibition" types, "White Ideal"


and "Habit"


And finally "Andalusia" which Kees also posted,


cheers

Leslie,
Yimkin is nice but it seems to be well liked by the slugs and snails, one flower was completely eaten in 2 nights and the one pictured has been nibbled as well. The plants were quite some distance apart and nothing in between was touched.
I have since destroyed half a dozen snails, but we have had dry nights so the little blighters have been keeping quiet.

Fermi,

I just discovered 'Quince' in flower here too, not even realising I had it.  I'd thought how nice it was when you posted the pic the other day, so was nice to find it here as a surprise today.    'Jumblie' opened over the last few days as well.

Some nice species and hybrids being posted.Most of all my daffs suffered terribly after the move and then last summer's 46c to 48c really knocked them for 6.From over 200 Triandrus albus specie seedlings, I have 23 still growing, and they are 2 years off from flowering.Most of my miniatures that are still kicking  failed to bloom this year.
But then this seedling opened yesterday! It is sdl 01-345/1 Quasar x Triandrus albus, a Div 5 W-P.

Paul,

I love that seedling.  If the pic is accurate, I'm assuming that is a nice pink?

Here's a few things flowering here at the moment....

And lastly, a double that I bought a couple of pots of at a nursery recently just for some potted colour (they were fairly cheap for a change).  I didn't realise they were going to be double at the time.  There are a few that look quite similar to me, so I don't know which one this would be likely to be.  I don't think it is 'Dick Wilden', but pics of that vary wildly so I don't know for sure what it should look like.  

Anyway, enjoy them, whatever they are.
