Well the Narcissus are popping here now--a little late this year. That's because we had a very dry fall (after a very wet winter and spring 2007) and it never got cold until January. The Narcissus are variable here every year, depending on the weather. From here out, these have all been in the ground for a number of years; the fall 2007 Narcissus have all bloomed and are nothing but leaves, along with some of the tazetta's that are older.

This one is Narcissus x odorus 'Plenus'
This is a species from 1601--AKA as Narcissus odorus flore pleno (plenus) and sometimes called "Double Campernelle" or "The Queen Anne's Double". Said to look like a perfect little yellow rose, fragrant, early, often multiple blooms per stem (this one has 3 on one stem), height 10"-12", a reliable naturalizer for zones 4-9.

Best source in the USA on these (Europe has some very good growers of this one too) grows fields full of them about a hundred miles from here.
