In 2012 on March 25 I saw N. eugeniae at Valdelinares/Spain. One year before on March 21 there was no daffodil to be seen.
Perhaps the first picture is suitable for DaffSeek.

Theo,
I’m envious! I’ve tried three times to see N eugeniae at Valdelinares but was either too early or snowed out and I think I was with you when you took your ‘snowy’ picture. Do you have any close-up pics of N. eugeniae – I always visualise it like the picture in Jiohn Blanchard’s book. but I’ve seen so-called N. eugeniae from elsewhere and it seemed taller and different. So, I’d like to see some of your close-up pics.

Quite a contrast in the pictures in a span of 4 days in different years. Looks like everyone has differences in blooming times from year to year. I see pine cones and needles, looks like these were growing in an area of scattered pines. It looks very open in the snowy picture. With the cow paddy in one of the close ups, a cow pasture also? Beautiful pictures, thanks for posting Theo.
On another note, certainly you are one of those visionary hybridizers, I referenced to in an earlier post. Thanks so much for all your work in hybridizing.
Brian, certainly glad you have taken an interest in the miniatures. As one of the world leaders in hybridizing, improvements should rapidly move foward.
Regards,
Larry
