Thanks again, alltogether!

Hans, indeed a spectacular form of miniatus and congratulations for viridiflorus flowers!

Thanks Fred, Miriam  and Gerd.
Yesterday I found some N. miniatus along the roadside, they were a bit damaged by heavy rain.

I always get one or two flowers in the pot bought as Narcissus serotinus.

Just two pics from today (it's rainy, windy and around + 6 ° C)

1. Narcissus miniatus x tazetta - a gem

2. Narcissus miniatus from Crete - with unusual propeller petals

At long last my bulb of Narcissus cavanillesii was delivered today and is now potted up. Took an angry Email to get it though.

Very cool little plants.  I wonder if there is a botanical key to the autumn bloomers, lots of them look rather similar; cute, but similar.

It seems the time for autumn flowering daffodils is nearly over -
but the viridiflorus hybrid shown in pic no. 1 and 2 is just opening. According to size and flowering time I am almost sure one parent is viridiflorus - but the other one?
No. 3 - After that I can't resist to show a miniatus - tazetta hybrid again, followed by no. 4 N. serotinus s. str.
- and no. 5 - a large flowering form of N. miniatus from Crete

Mark, You will find a key with most of the autumn flowering daffodils in
' Narcissus - A guide to wild daffodils ' by John W. Blanchard
and in
' Flora Vascular de Andalucía Occidental ' by Valdes et al. (editores) - in Spanish -

Recent changes (f. i. miniatus/serotinus) aren't mentioned there!

I'm wondering what the lots of them are? There are basically three: viridiflorus; serotinus/miniatus and humulis(or cavanillesii) and they couldn't be more different.
