Narcissus pachybolbus

Note the spelling of the species is "pachybolbus" (vowels got
reversed). It is regarded as a good species by Blanchard but he notes
that Webb proposes lumping it with N. papyraceus; it comes from North
Africa.
Dear Jane,
Thanks for the correction. I had a very old faint label to guess from.
Yes it does look like a paper white in bloom... a very teensy
tiny paper white. If anyone is looking for a floral display, a cut
flower or any kind of show, this is NOT the Narcissus for you. I
consider it a collector's item that I am done collecting and passing
along.
On the plus side the flowers are so tiny and prefect that
they are a good conversation piece in a garden club.
Enjoy Jim W.
