Anthony

some of them are yellow and these occur amongst the white ones in small numbers.
It was the wrong plant totally. The flower was 90o from the stem so was just a yellow daffodil.

What a nuisance.I will send you some seedlings or possibly an off set in the summer.
That's very kind Tony. I like the demure attitude this plant has. I have moschatus, but some(?) of the bulbs seem to be virused. I'm going to try to get seed before I burn them. :(

I'm trying a few Narcissus species for the first time this year and quite a few of them are in bud now. Here are a couple which were open enough to picture Narcissus jonquilla var. henriquesii and N. assoanus. Also pictured is a pot of N. 'Little Gem'.

I agree with Mark David, your N. assoanus is quite different from the true species ;

Here in the Gard, with Iris lutescens

No Mark, pic is from last year, it was just to show N. assoanus in the wild, but they will be in flower in 1 or 2 weeks in the south of France, then I'll post some pictures with N. dubius in the same place.
