Narcissus taxonomy has always been frustratingly unclear to me, as a non-specialist. Carlos, shall I just call my "N. hispanicus" "the very tall N. pseudonarcissus" and my "N. bujei" "the short N. pseudonarcissus under the Japanese maples"? It reminds me of David Hale's rule about the composites of western South America, "If it's round and yellow it's a Senecio." If anyone nearby wants to make their own comparison, many of this group are in flower here now, and most of them didn't have tree branches fall on them 2 weeks ago.
