Tony - the N. hedraeanthus is very attractive. I presume this was from seed?

Yes collected on a hot and dry trip in 1999. I went with somebody who knew the site otherwise it would have been impossible to find.

My Narcissus bulbocodium nivalis are like David's with a very long style and exserted anthers.
The first is from AGS seed sown in 2004 and the second from SRGC seed 2007

Ha! If Barry had pointed the camera to one side, you would see a lot of Portuguese people who had gone up to the snowline especially to have snowball fights!

Hi everyone - I'm back from my daffodil hunting trip on the AGS tour! Been busy watering/ photographing and pollinating my own plants since returning, but will subject you to my holiday photos when I've sorted them.
Meanwhile, here's a starter. (Scale Bear is 10cm high sitting down).

Anne,
Great start - I can hardly wait to have a look at the other species!

It is good to see your romieuxii outside, Simon. Here they would be eaten by slugs or battered by rain.

Narcissus 'Topolino' from the garden a couple of days ago and in flower around the time it bloomed last year.

At this time of year it's too cold for slugs and the snails are still in hibernation!

Yes, Simon, I was wondering when they would appear - probably just as everything starts to green up  :o
