I've never really understood the difference between a daffodil and a narcissus but have a kind of belief that it's about the shape of the trumpet. Now I have a flower in my garden that Looks like a cross between the two. Can anyone enlighten me?
They're all Narcissus. Daffodil is the common name usually applied to the traditional yellow ones
So, does this one have a particular name? It's very unusual and very lovely so I'd like to find some more.
I'm sure it has a name but there are so many very similar cultivars about.
Have a look at one of the big on line bulb catalogues, this is the first one I found, there are lots. See if you recognise any

Thank you, now I am enlightened! I knew there were lots but didn't realise there were that many!! I'll be on a mission now to find it's name
Thousands I should think.
Yours looks like a 'split corona' type, so if you research those it may narrow the field a little.
Thanks Dove, that narrows it down a bit
