Narcissus romieuxii Treble Chance originally from Rob Potterton who says it was selected then named   by his father in the 1970s - he  had put three xxx s on the  label.

Nice pot-full Stan.

Here's my first of the season Narcissus 'Taffeta' slow to offset for me and I can never get the mature bulbs to flower at the same time. I doubt if I shall have any more to show for the next couple of weeks at least.

Narcissus cantabricus 'Silver Palace'

Selection of:

N. cantabricus subsp. cantabricus var. foliosus

I may have called this Silver Palate in the past as a result of writing on a curved discarded venetian blind strip.
