This is Narcissus bulbocodium subsp. obesus in the cilffs near the town of São Martinho do Porto in Central Portugal. The photos were taken last weekend and there were thousands of them specially in the west facing clifs and even in the north facing ones. But, I've noticed that they resent competition of  oxalis pes-caprae, an invasive species that can do lots of harm in this shores.  Narcissus bulbocodium seems to grow weak when oxalis are around, and eventualy they might lost the battle. This is just my observation I'm not sure if this is really the case for the Narcissus. Some research is needed.

Thank you Fermi. These are especially beautiful in the wild. And the color is of a really deep yellow, very rich.
De Sousa is a very common surname in people with Portuguese origin, I wonder if that's the case with you? :)
Here is some more photo of N. bulbocodium:

Thank you Ashley, it's a pleasure to share these small gems with you guys.

Thank you too YT, and by the way that Narcissus ‘Andy Blanchard’ is exquisite, love the color ...I belive it is an hybrid of N. cyclamineus(?)

Yes, Jaime! N. ‘Andy Blanchard’ is the fabulous hybrid between triandrus and cyclamineus.

Andy looks to be doing better in Japan than Yorkshire! Not even out yet here either.
Nice to see the wild daffodils!

Tatsuo's lovely cantabricus won a first prize at RHS Rosemoor and almost got Best Miniature too, but it was almost going over, and was pipped by Brian Duncan's lovely 'Sleek'. (the cantabricus grew 3cm in the car on the journey!). I flew the flag with my SRGC sweatshirt  ;)

Finally, I was delighted to have some flowers of forumist Lesley Cox's beautiful little 'Susan Cox' to show. It is a superb flower, very regular, symmetrical and elegant.
