Anyone know the name of those tiny daffs you sometimes see in gardens?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

'Tete a tete' is the name which springs to mind - there may well be others. They're very cute and stand up much better than the full sized types when the weather gets rough.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Definitely Tete a tete and I think Jack snipe is another one.

As others have said Tete A Tete is the one that's out now that is likely what you've been seeing recently. It's one of the earliest Narcissi, often in flower by late Feb and it can bloom for 3 - 4 weeks. It's the most popular miniature.

Another very good miniature is Hawera. That blooms later usually from early/mid April into May. It's more of a pale lemon-yellow colour compared to Tete A Tete with grass-like foliage, and more subtle. I recommend both.
