Lovely photos.
The Queen Anne's double doesn't look similar to the one I posted as possibly Rip Van Winkle to me. We were discussing the naming yesterday, as it has what appears to be a sp name. In my book, by James S Wells, he says "it's been in cultivation for a very long time, but has never been recorded growing wild. It has been suggested that it is a natural hybrid between a dwarf form of N minor and N triandrus and so is classed as a hybrid, yet it bears no resemblance to N triandrus and appears to be a simple double form of a small yellow trumpet. Gray lists it under another old name, N capax plenus."
He goes on to say that every single bulb he's had have been poor and in most cases diseased "Clearly it is difficult to find clean bulbs, but if you obtain some, then you may have to attend closely for two or three years to clean them up"
There is also a plant 'Pencrebar' which is alternatively called 'Queen Anne's Double Jonquil' named after Queen Anne of England, whereas this plant - 'Queen Anne's Double Daffodil' - is named after Queen Anne of Austria
