Gerry could it be Narcissus jeanmonodii?
Rafa -  I received it from the collectors - Bob & Rannveig Wallis (RRW) - as simple N. bulbocodium. In the past they have listed N. jeanmonodii separately & described it as having a long exserted stigma. In AGS Bulletin, 66 (3) p.337 Blanchard has a photo of a plant in the wild which he calls N. jeanmonodii & this has the exserted stigma. So, who knows?

A few Daffs from the garden today. Quite unexceptional pics I'm afraid I took them in a hurry trying to beat the rain.

Narcissus 'February Gold'-Getting on in years now as a form, it's first flowering was in 1923. Seed parent 'Golden Spur', pollen parent N. cyclamineus.

N. 'Cornish Chuckles'-I thought this was a 'local' but it was actually bred in USA. First registered 1996. Seed parent 'Matador', pollen parent N. cycalmineus.

N. 'Topolino'- Netherlands bred and a bit of a mixture.

N. 'Sailboat'- bred in USA, first registered 1980. Seed parent 'Frostkist', pollen parent N. jonquilla.

N. 'Jet Fire'- bred in USA, first registered 1966. Seed parent (Market Merryx Carbineer)xArmada) pollen parent N. cyclamineus

I've been trying to post this for nearly 45 minutes but the server times out every time I try, pics to follow.

Thank you Gerry, I am quite confused (really?  ;D) with certain Bulbocodiums from Morocco.
Tatsuo, thak you very much for posting the results with my seed collection, it's a grat pleasure to know that my efforts are useful in ex situ conservation. I think I posted time ago pictures from the place where I collected this species, but I don't find the thread

Michael, many people here consider subsp. tenuifolius is subsp. obesus.

According to the Plant List N. bulbocodium var. tenuifolius is a synonym of N. bulbocodium ssp. bulbocodium
