Ian,
I have had this message from Betty Clark in New Zealand, a lady who grows many narcissus.....

Betty writes " I am pretty sure that the photo of the white is certainly not Thalia  I have been growing Thalia for the last 20 years and the perianth is so narrow where Thalia is quite broad.
 I have shown it in the historic section at shows , The petals on the photo are extremely narrow whereas Thalia are very wide and strong."

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Okay, I've had another think.... and a good look at what I remembered was Thalia, flowering now, but which Ian and I now realise is 'Niveth'.... 'Thalia' isn't flowering yet here!

I tried to post these yesterday but the Forum was too slow, and it is almost as bad today. Apologies to you all, we are looking into the problem.

So, here are some pix of Narcissus 'Niveth'... let's see what clarity, if any, this brings to the situation!!
