The latest Bulb Log has prompted me to post some of the Narcissus in my bulbhouse.  No names but they give me great pleasure

Tony

Seeing your cantabricus ssp. monophyllus and Ian's cantabricus in the Bulb Log reminds me I must get more - most of my Narcissus are yellow.

I agree - N. alpestris is a beauty, Willi.

I had once cv. N. moschatus but I lost it - I believe due narcissus fly.

Can somebody of the narcissus experts explain me the difference between N. alpestris and N. moschatus, please?

Armin,

according to the chromosome weighing work of Ben Zonneveld,  they are one and the same.  Actually, they are N. pseudonarcissus ssp moschatus.  After reading and studying his paper, I agree with this analysis.  You can find a PDF on the ADS site. Here is a direct link.
