Hello
I took some pics of the various daffs in my garden today to share on Facebook, and I found that the previously two-headed mini daffs have now got three heads! I only spotted the two-headed ones last year (I'd swear they'd previously only had one head) but now one of them has three heads. Anyone know what variety they are, or should I be calling the guinness book of records for a socially-distanced viewing?

It's not uncommon for them to increase over time, or indeed, do the opposite.
Many of the earlier ones have those reflexed petals.
There's one called Canaliculatus which looks similar.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
