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.
