13.3.12 Narcissus bulbocodium 'Golden Bells' flower picture

This is quite a new variety, isn't it? Very unusual and very cute.

It is relatively recent. http://www.plantdelights.com/Narcissus-bulbocodium-Golden-Bells-Perennial-Golden-Bells-Narcissus/productinfo/9322/
says the following about it.

This fabulous Narcissus hybrid came from breeders in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s. It is far superior to the typical form of Narcissus bulbocodium in commerce, both in vigor and superior flowering. For us, the commonly sold form of Narcissus bulbocodium crowds itself out so that flowering ceases after the first season...not so with Narcissus 'Golden Bells'. For us, Narcissus 'Golden Bells' starts flowering in late March with golden hoop petticoats atop 8" tall stems. We love the small round green leaves that don't share the untidy habit of the larger narcissus. This has been a real winner in our trials.

That's good to know, thankyou. This is definitely one for next year. I'll keep a note of it on my ever-growing wish list.
