Narcissus romieuxii. It’s one of the flattest hoop-petticoat daffodils in my collection.

Thanks, Mel :)

If you lived in my country, you could grow them compact as mine or perhaps better ;)

Very nice Arnold. Some of mine, looking quite floppy, from the greenhouse today.

Narcissus romieuxii x bulbocodium a Ranveig Wallis cross.
N. jeanmondii, one from Brian Duncan. +++ Later edit should read 'jeanmonodii' one of my perpetual spelling mistakes.
N. bulbocodium var. genuinus also from Brian.

Narcissus romieuxii JCA805Y 'Atlas Gold'
N. romieuxii ex. 'Primrose Yellow' from seed sown August 2007
N. jacetanus ssp. acetanus from seed Rafa kindly sent me and sown September 2009. I may have got this wrong but I think Rafa's notes were 'collected Alava, Egino de la Lece, 900 Mtrs

You are right  David.
Well, many people don't support Narcissus jacetanus, and I have to say that I haven't a solid oppinion about it.

Some of mine, looking quite floppy, from the greenhouse today.

Most of mine are floppy too (except 'Don Stead' which is a good sturdy plant), first from lack of light and then, ironically, too much light as the sun came out! Unusually, we've have a lot of freezing temperatures recently, but because they'd all wilted I had to risk watering them and thankfully it's not been so cold since.

N. jacetanus ssp. acetanus from seed Rafa kindly sent me and sown September 2009. I may have got this wrong but I think Rafa's notes were 'collected Alava, Egino de la Lece, 900 Mtrs

Whatever the botanical status, those little trumpets on N.jacetanus are lovely. Hoping mine will flower this year :)

I wonder, if like me, other Narcissus growers have made use of these two RHS papers:-

Botanical Classification
https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/pdfs/plant-registration-forms/daffbotanical

and,

Botanical Names in the Genus Narcissus
https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/pdfs/plant-registration-forms/daffalpha

Previously I have had Links to them in My Favorites but earlier today I found neither Link would work and simply led me to the RHS main page. I spent nearly two hours trying to locate the pages again (does anyone else think the "new and improved RHS Web Site" is an absolute shambles)?

So thought I would add them here.

I've always found these to be very useful... in forming the basis of a shopping list of species, subspecies and varieties and forms I don't yet have!!  ;D ;D
