Here is one you can find at B&B named 'Rapture' it is a Triple Crown winner -- a Wister Award for a fantastic garden flower, an AGM (Award of Garden Merit) from the RHS, a top show flower and all around wunderkid. It may have won the Pannill Award as a show flower, I don't remember, but it is a winner at every show across the country.

The style with the flyback petals is called "Cyclamineus" for obvious reasons. There is a species miniature daffodil named Narcissus cyclamineus which would normally be one of the parents, or I suppose grandparents. People either love or hate this style, but the one thing they all have in common is early bloom.
