That is very nice Davey. However, from "Daffseek" it seems to be  simply a selected form of N. rupicola which is what it looks like. So, I don't understand why it should have a cv. name.

It is an extremely attractive flower; most forms of N.rupicola  are. They vary in size, the best ones are about 30mm in diam. Perhaps this selected form  is slightly larger?

This is my favourite daffodil, as it shows the influence of N. radiiflorus. I bought it as 'Mrs Langtry', which does not seem to be the correct name. Avon Bulbs sells it therefore as 'Elegance'. Does anybody know more ?

Thank you, Anne, what a fascinating site.
My plant seems to resemble 'Stella' there, and what I grow as 'Stella' is quite different.
An I found a plant maybe even more star shaped and exciting than my 'Mrs Langtry' ...  :D

The second one with the year pre 2006 seems to fit what is sold nowadays as 'Mrs Langtry'. Maybe one should add "modern stock" to the name ... ?

Whatever the name, these graceful old varieties have great charm.

You are right, Anne, and I am getting more and more intrigued by their charm.
I show some more, even if these varieties are not plants for a rock garden ...  :)

These old varieties are charming, I think. They look good in a more natural setting, as Thomas shows.
