Hello Fermi. You are correct. All Narcissus look lovely. I grew up with the indigenous Narcissus serotinus, (Sept-Dec)and Narcissus tazetta (Nov-Feb)both highly scented. Cultivated N came along much later for me. No long now and we shall soon have the former growing up on the hill and the latter later in the Spring.  Charithea - and thanks for the pics!!
I garden in Cyprus, in a flat old farming field, alt. approx. 30 m asl.

After a week, 'Mitzy' has now faded to white (still a little yellow at the tip)

Nice one Fermi, mine are flowering too but must be a week or so ahead of you as they are just about white-white. Your pictures are great but I suspect your partner must be right.... what with taking photo's and posting them on several sites you must spend no time eating and little time sleeping, and I know you work. We are anticipating rain so I'll be spreading fertiliser near all the little bulbs in the garden and pots.

You are giving a lot of us great pleasure with your 'photos of Narcissus Fermi. I particularly liked the unknown x cyclamineus one in the latest posting - truly beautiful.

'Splitter' is a great favourite with visitors to our garden. It grow with 'J.T. Bennett-Poe' and another small creamy pale yellow. It is often too windy here for the bigger, taller daffs to flower properly so I have moved my annual purchases into the shorter kinds.

Trevor,
in that case there's plenty to choose from! Glenbrook, Hillview and Trevanion all have great catalogues which include a lot of dwarf forms. Remind me to send you Keira Bulbs' list when it comes out ;D

Here are some more from our garden,
'Cherie' 7WP and close up
'Estrella Bella' 11aW-Y, a split cup jonquil
'Pueblo' 7 WW
'Intrigue' 7 YW
cheers
