Narcissus 'Jumblie' (Division 12) is a sister seedling of Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête', a backcross of N. cyclamineus × N. 'Cyclataz' (N. cyclamineus × N. tazetta 'Grand Soleil d'Or'). Its flowers are much more reflexed than 'Tête-à-tête' and it starts blooming a little later, but their bloom periods overlap. Photos taken March 2007 by Jay Yourch.

Narcissus 'Smarple' (Division 10) is one of the Rod Barwick 'Detective hybrids' named for fictional detectives. (Smarple = MisS MARPLE). These hybrids may benefit from moisture in the soil at their roots during their dormancy. Container grown and flowering in January 2005 in California. The buds are a darker yellow and once the flowers open they become a very pale creamy yellow. Photos by Mary Sue Ittner.

Narcissus 'Stocken' (Division 7) grows from 5in (12cm) with 2-3 tiny golden yellow fragrant flowers per stem. Research on the Internet is conflicted. Some suggest it is a named form of Narcissus willkommii and it certainly looks like photos I have seen of that species (included in the Kew monocot checklist in Narcissus jonquilla), but another source described it as a cross between Narcissus jonquilla and Narcissus tazetta. Photos from Mary Sue Ittner. It blooms best with a dry summer dormancy.

Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête' (Division 12) is a dependable, early blooming backcross of N. cyclamineus × N. 'Cyclataz' (N. cyclamineus × N. tazetta 'Grand Soleil d'Or'). Its less famous sister seedling is 'Jumblie'. Often there are two flowers heads per stem justifying the name, occasionally there are three. First two photos taken February 2007 by Jay Yourch. Remaining photos by David Pilling show multiple flowers.
