Gerry, thanks for that. It really is a struggle to ID most of the small Daffs perhaps it's time for a new monograph-any takers out there?

David,
Great nivalis or whatever it will be!
I do hope very much the potential writer of a new monograph will be a 'lumper'.

I agree completely Gerd. I think we have to accept that this is an extremely variable group of plants & that whereas the recognition of 4 or 5 distinct species may be justified, the division into subspecies let alone varieties is meaningless.

Here are Narcissus 'Mite' from the greenhouse and, at long last N. 'February Gold' from the garden.

David, fine plants - maybe 'February Gold' becames now 'March Gold'!  ;)

Here are some newer pics from Narcissus hedraeanthus (shown here March 2nd)
plus a darker (and later) form of the same species from the Sierra de Alcaraz.
The last species is Narcissus cantabricus from Segovia - with special thanks to the donor!

Superb Gerd. The difference between the forms of N. hedraeanthus is remarkable.

Beautiful N. hedraeanthus Gerd and the little cantabricus is gorgeous. My 'February Silver' could well be 'April Silver' unless it gets a move on.

Armin, does that mean you are doubtful? This is one I bought as Narcissus assoanus and when it flowered for the first time last year the general view was that it was N. 'Mite'.

No David! I'm not doubtful at all.
I find the flower form of 'Mite' more attractive then N. cyclamineus, therefore interesting.
