David your Narcissus 'Kenellis' look very elongated

Agreed, but then so to were my 'Jim Lad'; Bowle's Early Sulphur; Elka etc. I think it's lack of light and I'll look to place them differently in the greenhouse next year.

Some big flowered Narcissus cultivars which are flowering here now; don't remember the name of them, tough. So if anyone can help me with names, that would be very nice.

The one on the third picture is Narcissus 'Cassata' (with thanks to Ulla Hansson for determinating the flower).
The one on the fifth picture is Narcissus 'Jack Snipe' (with thanks to Luit van Delft for determinating the flower).
And the one on the sixth picture is Narcissus 'Toby the First'

I too have 'Toby the First' flowering at this time.  I bought them at the SRGC Discussion weekend in 2009 - many thanks Luit for bringing them.

I love them too Rafa.
Do you agree that both plants are  forms of N. calcicola? I have wondered whether AGS 1004 might be N. scaberulus.  The information I have (Blanchard) suggests that it can be very difficult to distinguish between the two species.

Gerry, as far as I know, N. scaberulus have longer pedicels than N. calcicola. There is also an interesting character, N. scaberulus has noodles leaves in general, and N. calcicola has erect leaves. It also has longer corona than N. calcicola. They are currently considered Narcissus calcicola subsp. scaberulus and subsp. calcicola.

Thanks Rafa. Both my plants have erect leaves. I'll stick with N. calcicola for the time being.

Away for a few days, including a visit to Wisley on Wednesday(the day it's supposed to rain! :(  ) so I'll get a few Daff pictures in before we go.

First two- Narcissus bulbocodium ssp.obesus showing some frost damage, this form from Anne's List
Third/Fourth- N. x tenuior from Brain Duncan, also showing some frost damage.
Fifth /Sixth N. 'Fairy Chimes' also from Anne's List
Seventh/Eighth N. alpestris a kind gift from Tony Willis in 2008

Very nice David.  Is your alpestris (slowly) increasing?  Unfortunately my moschatus in the garden is heading in the opposite direction, also slowly, but I fear surely :'(
