FIRST FLOWER FOR 2016

This is the first flower that appeared on my property this year. It is a Narcissus poeticus (I think) which is like a smaller version of the daffodil. It is barely 2 – 3 cm in diameter and is normally found in rocky terranean in the wild. I have some bulbs here and there in the garden which are the first to flower every year.

Thank you very much for looking and for nice your comments on yesterday's picture.
