Hi folks,
I've tried the search function on this Forum and a well-known web search engine, but have been unable to locate any photo's of Narcissus x maginae. This plant is a hybrid between N. cuatrecasasii and N. triandrus. I'd like to check the ID of plants I found in Spain recently. I don't think I found any of the hybrid N. x maginae, but it would be useful to have a photo for comparison, so I'm hoping someone here may have a photo they can share with me?
Thanks in anticipation,
M

Hello Matt, there is a photo using the Bing site. Open Bing and type narcissus x maginae. It looks a very nice plant.

Thanks Ian. I've tried a search using a number of different search engines, but they all bring up a similar range of images and unless I have overlooked something none of them appears to be N. x maginae. Hopefully a Forumist may have snapped this plant and have a pic stashed away in their files.

Just have to use your 'maginaetion 'til then. :P

Furtling around for something else, I stumbled across this old post. Thought I should give an update. Turns out that during my trip in 2016 I found N. x maginae after all. And I present it to you here... Don't get excited. Whilst most intersectional Narcissus hybrids can be quite beautiful, this one (this specimen at least) is underwhelming. Enjoy.
N. x maginae = N. triandrus x N. cuatrecasasii

So where has Anthony Darby gone then? ???

Anthony recovering after shoulder surgery at the minute - which may put his punning at a peep!

Matt you're way too young to forget a plant you found yourself :o and only a year ago as well.

I didn't forget the plant, I just forgot to update the post.
It turns out that when I was in Spain 18 month ago I did find the plant I was asking about in the original post, but I didn't know what I was looking at that time. I had enough wit to know I was looking at something out of the ordinary though and captured a pic. it was this photo I was hoping to compare with pictures anyone else may have had - but no luck. Luckily I put the photo in my presentation and this time last year an audience member kindly identified the plant for me. I should have updated this post back then, but didn't.

Matt, could you please send me a Google Earth point of this hybrid? my friend in Jaen is looking for it and he can't find it. It seems the must be very occasional.
