Some more things opened over the weekend - two more of Keira's hybrids, and Narcissus 'Wavertree', which is a selected large form of asturiensis.

Here are some daffodils from today

1. Narcissus pseudonarcissus - of wild origin from the 'Eifel'
2. A very small N. cyclamineus from N. Spain
3. N. hedraeanthus white
4. N. hedraeanthus x N. triandrus
5. N. cantabricus from Ronda

Gerd

Gerd, beautiful cuties.
The N.pseudonarcissus 'Eifel' syn. is "N. lobularis"? Right?
Best wishes

I'm afraid not Gerd, mine is N. pseudonarcissus ss pseudonarcissus and it stubornly refuses to flower.  It's in a normal border bed covered with bark, maybe it doesn't like that ?  I'll try another spot.

I can't grow this species either - I have seedlings grown from seeds gathered in a Northumberland wood 15 years ago, and they barely increase in size, let alone flower!

Interestingly, or maybe everyone else already knows this, I collected one stem of the narcissus with a green seed pod, and kept it in water at home until it turned yellow, then sowed the seeds, which germinated very well, so you don't necessarily need to have seed ripen on the plant. Or then again, maybe if you do this, the plants will take 20 years to flower...

Gerd, I thought one of the key features of Narcissus hedraeanthus was the horizontal flowering stem? I have what I thought was hedraeanthus from CGF and it is probably a hybrid, or so I was told at the Early Bulb Display.
See http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1302.15 and scroll down.

Anthony,
An horizontal or up to 45 ° flowering stem and relatively small straw coloured flowers are typical for the hedraeanthus population of the Sierra de Cazorla. In other regions, the  Sierra de Alcaraz and the Sierra Morena for instance, you can find larger plants with a more erect stem and larger flowers - which are coloured from a more intense yellow to almost white. These are called Narcissus hedraeanthus ssp. luteolentus by Blanchard.
Unfortunately even the Cazorla plants react with a more upright stem when grown without
sufficiant light.
So I would not say your plant is a hybrid but rather a superb form of hedraeanthus.
