Super looking plants everyone, sadly suffering from reduced Narcissus numbers here, but now in a new bed I'm hoping they will bulk back up again!
Here is my N.'Taffeta' before the snows landed on top of the bulb frame!

That is a very fine daffodil, and nothing like what I have under that name (sigh)  ::)

Hi annew,
what is yours like? We suffered alot of vole disturbance last winter and bulbs whilst not eaten were 're-located' by our little friends, this picture matches my memory of 'Taffeta' and seems to match previous posted pics on the SRGC site, but......

Does anyone know of any hybrids between hoop petticoat types and trumpet types? Apart from my hedreanthus x asturiensis, I can only think of Kenellis, and Little Soldier. I find that attempted pollinations usually fail.

Well, there are many places, but this one is in Toledo. Here another population in Madrid.

Fred: Most of central Spain populations are blooming now, but there are one that is with snow. It seems it stopped of snowing, but I am sure it will start another week....
