Thank you Hans and Gerd for the identification! It is nice to know that I now have miniatus, a new species for me. Luckily I have seedlings of what I strongly believe is elegans. But that will show in a couple of years!
Hans, beautiful Narcissus x alleniae! Is that a natural hybrid?

Gosh Gerd, you have certainly got the knack when it comes to these wee autumn dafs! 8)

Very fine Narcissi Gerd and Oron!
I like N. serotinus from morroco very much!

Do you get many seeds Hans?
The hybrids do not produce seeds - not sure if my N.elegans do, N.miniatus does, but the last years I was not able to collect any - one day they look the capsule needs still a few days and the next day I find the open capsule without any seeds inside... :P

Poul, yes, N.x alleniae is a natural hybrid - here unfortunatly sterile.

Now N.elegans started to flower - very short this year (about 25cm).

Love this peach form of N. obsoletus, Oron. Is it Gerd's selection?

Well done Michael, is that one you've raised yourself?

We have less than great success with the wonderful autumn species we have seen from some other clever Forumists, but we have similar little white gems beginning to flower now as well, Michael... we love them all.
Their pure crystalline bells in the darkening days of autumn are a real treat.

Very nice Michael.
The first N. romieuxii is in flower here & a miserable little thing it is. I presume this is the effect of the severe cold last winter. It will be interesting to see what the others are like. N. cantabricus is already in bud which seems very early.
