I think this is called a Narcissus.

Nasturtium is the name.

Thank you very much.

Did you know that the leaves and the flowers are edible, the young
leaves are best, sort of spicy flavour like watercress. Great talking
point in a salad if you sprinkle the flowers over.


Yes, I had heard that, I had never tried it before. This is the first
year I have planted them but they are very pretty. Are they annuals or
perennials?


It's an annual, easily grown from seed. Comes in various colours, see.....
