Lovely! This one looks similar and came as N. lobularis to me some 20 years ago. It´s one of the few which appear to be not troubled by narcissus fly.

I am not often lost for words but Rafa all I can say is WOW you share a stunning series of images of Narcissus from Spain with us and while they are all my favouites you know I have a special soft spot of Narcissus x susannae which I am reminded of daily by your excellent water colour which graces our walls.

Jamie I also greatly enjoy your post showing Narcissus obesus in Portugal another species which attracts my interest.

OK then I am not completely lost for words.

My, that is a good strong pink - nothing  wishy-washy about that!  (Some I've  seen are a bit  "peelly-wally" as we say in Scotland! )

Roma your rupicola is so great!

It was grown from SRGC seed,Yann.  Collected wild by Rafa as Narcissus triandrus pallidulus.

Not sure of it's origin, Anne.  I got it at the SRGC Discussion Weekend in 2012.  Still just one bulb  :(

Narcissus scaberulus in the wild here in Central Portugal. It is known as "Narcissus of Mondego", which is an important river in the area.

Photos are from my friend Lucie.

I went along to the Norfolk & Norwich Horticultural Society Show on Sunday which incorporates the East of England Daffodil Championship and Plant Fair. Very different daffodils exhibited to the ones you see at AGS/SRGC shows and pictured here but interesting, and it was a very pleasant, friendly show with a range of nurseries attending that included Riverside Bulbs and Monksilver.

There must be someone in Norfolk breeding large-flowered daffodils and there were several with local names.
'Horsey Mere' is a massive flower;

'Hickling Broad'

'Yare Valley'

'Cameo Flush' is a nice warm colour and seemed a popular show flower.
[attachimg=1]

'Beaulieu'

I did like the colour of 'Wild Honey' which is probably nicer 'in the flesh' than in my photo

It's always interesting to note the difference between the ideal exhibition flower and the ideal alpinists blooms. Daffodil shows are always fun to go to and see how passionate exhibitors are, and the huge variation in flower types even among exhibition cultivars.

Not something I would want to get into but I enjoyed the pictures Gail.
