Oops, looking back at my pictures I found that one pic. was missing in the batches above. ???
Here it is
Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Gerd, the nursery where they make the green Narcissi is: W.F. Leenen.
They only do wholesale, but have a not very informative (for amateurs) website with some links:

Luit,
Sorry for the late reply, thank you very much for the hint. Very interesting.

Kathrine, you were close to my living place, only 5 km.
I hope to see you here next time?

Luit,

Fantastic!!  Tulips etc are so very far off here at the moment! <grin>  I loved those green Narcissus though, I hope they turn up here in Australia one of these years.  I love the form and colour to them, although not as taken with the double one (and I do often like doubles).  Still would likely buy it if I ever saw it available, knowing me!!  ::)  What I can't get over with those tulips is that they are so perfectly straight and tall, yet are in the tiniest pots.  Amazing!!
Cheers.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

If this nursery only sells wholesale, where can ordinary growers buy them? There must be a retail outlet?

the good thing about these hybrids ( I forgot to mention before) is that they have the same good smell as N. viridiflora.
