Last month we had the first daffodil flower for the year! It is called 'First Stanza', a cross between Narcissus elegans and N. tazetta which we got from Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra
The winter-flowering hoop petticoat daffodils have started.
In our garden the white ones are always first; these are what I think are 'Nylon' but apparently that name has been supplanted by 'Nylon Group' as they are a bit variable
This one is a seedling which came up nearby

I've just repotted my "hoops", hoping they'll enjoy a nice rest over summer. Yours are always so nice!

That's because I only show you the nice ones, Claire
Here's another nice one, 'Viristar' a cross from Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra, one of his N. viridiflorus hybrids, 'Hillstar' x 'Emerald Sea', it opens greenish with a lemon cup which fades to white-white,

Lovely, Fermi. Narcissus season here seems a distant memory. Hot weather, then cold, then hot. Poor plants don't know what season they're in!

Glad you can enjoy the daffs vicariously, Claire.
More "hoops":
this is one of Lawrence Trevanion's from Canberra and is called 'Gefk' - apparently he has named a few after noises his children made as bablies!
This is a "stray", not sure if it's a seedling or from a bulblet which was repotted with something else,
cheers

Some more "hoops" in the garden:
Narcissus cantabricus seed collected in Spain in 2009 and sown on July 4, 2010
A seedling which appeared near N. 'Jessamy'
More seedlings
Narcissus 'Ben Bler', one of Rod Barwick's "Little Detective series"

I find these hoops very delightful-thanks for sharing

Thanks, Harold, enjoying your summer pics as well!
Here are a couple of tazetta hybrids:
1) Taztep, from Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra
2) a 8 W-Y hybrid whose name was indecipherable on the bag on which I'd written it!
cheers

This is what I presume is a much older tazetta hybrid, but again, not one I can name, it seems to be half way between 'Grand Monarque' and "Straws",
