Eagerly-awaited some spring daffs from Andalucia!
What a pleasant N. gaditanus!

Thank you Rafa!

   Seed raised from wild collected seed, Matt

Was that from the collection SBL 237, Maggi?

Thanks, Anne and Matt. The corona edge of the paler flower is recurved and ruffled, so I thought perhaps it's a hybrid.

Tatsuo, it's hard to tell from the photo, does the flower have any pedicel at all?

The illustration in Blanchard does show a bit of flaring to the corona, but the text does not mention this.

Thank you!  :-* 
Not one I've noted before. Your plants have good form.

PS: I'm sure you meant "little darlin's" ??  ;)

Yes, both flowers have pedicel, Matt. Thank you for showing me the line drawings, that's similar to mine ;)
The flower size is much larger than I expected. It's almost twice as large as ‘Don Stead’.

Rafa, these Narcissus cantabricus and  N. x susannae are almost beyond words in their beauty.  Exquisitely beautiful.
