Anne - The flower of Flashback was 2 inches long, the cyclamineus 1.5 inches. I'll measure the flower height tomorrow.

At last a couple to picture. The first couple are of one of Anne Wright's crosses, Narcissus romieuxii var. mesatlanticus x N. bulbocodium forma 'Anne'. If you see this Anne do you have another name for this now please?

The second couple are N. bulbocodium ssp bulbocodium var. nivalis.

Hi David, it's not one of my seedlings. It was a cross made by a friend, Robin Metcalf. I have named it Narcissus 'Robin Metcalf', but it is not registered, as it would not be distinctive enough. I'm glad you like it.

Narcissus bulbocodium filifolius- that's what it says on the label. :-\

Anne - The flower of Flashback is 9.5" tall and you can deduct the same 2-3" for the same reasons as mentioned.

Not as tropical as County Clare Gerry. I bet Michael's been in the garden today in shorts and flip-flops ;D

They are looking really nice Anne.  :) :)
Are these first time flowering from your own crosses or well established / well known plants?
