Luit, do you have any more information please on Narcissus 'Cornish King' ? There is nothing at all on Daffseek about it.

David, the N. Cornish King comes probably from the Rosewarne Institute.
They had many years a breeding programme with Narcissus. When they stopped many unnamed seedlings
sold to nurseries and some of these were selected. This is obviously one which was never registered.
We hopefully are awaiting some more information, but this has to come from the UK (might take some time? ::) ::) ;))

Today here one specially for you:
Narcissus Cornish Chuckles  

One to look out for I think  :D

BTW: Daffseek is not the official registrar. That is the RHS and all registered ones are to find there online!

Perhaps a robust (and apparently low-growing) form of F. aurea? I usually find all seedlings of F. aurea reasonably robust, i.e. easy to grow and increase both vegetatively and from seed.

If ever you have fresh seed to spare Lesley, I'd be most grateful for a little.

Thanks for that Liut, I had Rosewarne in mind. I bought 'Cornish Chuckles' last autumn and have planted them out in the garden. Doubt if they'll look as good when they flower as the ones you posted!
