That is very nice thought it was two different varieties when I first saw it.

You are welcome Andrew. I have a special interest in Narcissus and enjoy finding their family trees when I can. Bjs we thought it was two different ones when we saw them but there does seem to be quite a few which change colour dramatically during their short flowering period. I find the shorter narcissus do last well in our windy garden. I bought N. Sailboat at NTS Greenbank Garden on Sunday. It grows to 40cm and produces two or three outward-facing flowers per stem in mid spring. They have pale lemon cups, maturing to white, with white outer petals that are slightly swept back.
