How do you grow this? I've never been able to keep it - & I'm not alone in the UK!Moi aussi And it is difficult to obtain good seed. Currently have some seedlings from SRGC seed - hope they survive to flowering size.Do have one pot of triandrus from a kind forumist.Strange plant I seem to remember some years ago that you could buy these by the 10 for a few pence. I suppose because I haven't got a garden full there must be something more complex going on. Some very kind person has also given me a bulb of this so it will be interesting to compare notes as the season progresses. Now for something different N henriquesii. I like to multi headed ones. Apologies for the quality of the photo due to low light levels

Narcissus triandrus w/c
My copy of Blanchard is out on loan at the moment so can't check, but I think this is N. jonquilla var. henriquesii. Gerry may be able to correct me if my memory is wrong. Very nice Ian and I suspect it smells very nice too. Whoops, hadn't seen your post Ron when I posted mine, I should have given Ian chance to reply.
For us Narcissus novices Ian, any chance you could tell us a little more about this beauty, please.
These I grow in pots but some of the hybrid jonquills seem to do well outside eg "baby moon" etc. but the jonquill species barely survive outside for me - wrong climate!!!

Thanks Ian. Do you mean too wet in summer?

Gerry Perhaps its just hybrid vigour but that it what is like for me
3 pics from last Monday. Very bad winter Narcissus season in the wild this year due the drought in south Spain. They are N. muñozii-garmendiae, a Narcissus from Bulbocodium secction, although I know it since many years I still don't know which species is it, and N. albicans (sorry for the picture, lot of wind)I'll make a note concerning N. triandrus pallidulus, to donate more seeds next season.
