Narcissus x italicus

My first bloom of this narcissus, after 3 years. Another of the tazetta types, fragrant and multiflowered, with more pointed and twisted petals. It is supposed to be common in cemeteries and old house gardens in the South and along the Gulf Coast, but somehow not commonly available from the big narcissus sources. I think it should be since for me it extends the season by blooming much later than the more common paperwhites. It comes between N. Galilee and before N. Trevithian, N. Avalanche. and N Erlicheer, et al.

Does anyone else grow this? When does it bloom for you?
