Title: Narcissus elegans ?
Post by: gertrude on April 07, 2018, 09:22:44 AM

These narcissus are flowering in a field opposite our house and according to my wild flower books I believe they are Narcissus elegans , but then I read that they flower in the Autumn? so I am confused.
The petals which fold back are 1 -1.5cms and the the flower approx  3cms wide.  See photo

Jan, They look more like some form of Narcissus tazetta to me, which normally flower in early spring
