"The Real" Narcissus pachybolbus

Thanks for that response, Jim Waddick; you've convinced me that what I grow
as Narcissus pachybolbus is not likely the real thing.
There is a series of images here:

which illustrates this species in the wild. Now that I've seen these, I'm
inclined to say that my plant is more likely a form of Narcissus tazetta
itself, or something intermediate between tazetta and pachybolbus.
