That's lovely Fermi, and nice to have it flowering in the middle of winter   :)

That is a great cross Fermi. Hope it builds up for you.
Old reliable double romans are flowering now.

Like yours Fermi. Not too keen on these doubles. I have Narcissus malacitanus seedlings coming up for their second season.  8)

The "hoops" are into their swing here!
In our garden we always start with the white/cream ones followed by the lemon then the yellow.
Here are some labelled as 'Nylon'

These two (near the N. cantabricus folious) appear to be seedlings and look a bit different to the parents; the first seems to have a bit of N. romieuxii in it.

This narcissus appears to be a seedling - the closest ones to it are white hybrids (Tarlatan and Ianmon) so the bees had been busy! It looks more like a N. romieuxii than N. cantabricus/bulbocodium to me.

Nice to see your daffs, Fermi, just when we're starting to repot ours.

It's a nice thing about this Forum - you get to see into the future ;D
Here's that clump of N. 'Nylon' and behind it is yet another seedling which appears a bit different to "mum"!

Here is Narcissus panizzianus flowering today. With me it always produces flowering stems half the length of the leaves.

Here's another of Lawrence Trevanion's hybrids;
this is 'Westholme' x N. viridiflorus; it's supposed to open 7G-G and fade to 7W-Y ; sort of half way there.

Here are three of the 'Glenbrook Ta-Julia' grex which I got from Rod earlier in the year - of the 4 that I've flowered, each one is different so far!
