Narcissus 2010

[Gerry Webster]

Narcissus bulbocodium var. tenuifolius

This name is not accepted by RBG Kew who regard it as a synonym of N. bulbocodium subsp. bulbocodium.

This little plant is very floriferous.

[Ragged Robin]

Lovely to see such a little beauty when it's nought degrees and a grey day in the Alps, thanks Gerry!

[Sinchets]

Flowering here now in the xeric garden is N.cordubensis (?)
Also flowering- but not quite here- are some Daffs we saw in an old rubbish tip in the lowlands. I am not sure if they are anything special, but they are different from the ones normally seen in gadens here.

This was here when I moved into the house.

Any ideas?

Flowering now - Narcissus 'Tracey' which will eventually reflex & fade to white.

Really lovely John...so elegant with that long trumpet 
It looks quite tall - is it?

Robin  - It's not very tall, about 20 cm. max.

It is elegant, I just wish it didn't go through the yellow stage!

Fabulous, Fermi - they look like they're in a howling gale!

Flowering now from SRGC Seed Ex. , sown in January 2007. 
Narcissus rupicola ssp marvieri x watieri
Does this look correct?  I have watieri flowering just now but do not have any yellow rupicola to compare.  Must remedy that soon!

[Gerry Webster]

Roma - looks probable to me. It seems to have the large corona characteristic of N. marvieri while the yellow is somewhat paler than my N. rupicola - not open yet. It is very attractive.

[annew]

It looks just right, Roma.

A daffodil in flower here and which is very common on the French shore of Nova Scotia.  Locals say it has been grown in that area for more than 100-150  years.  I guess it is Narcissus 'Van Sion' (aka 'Telemonius Plenus') but would appreciate any counter offers.  It shows no sign of decreasing in vigour after all those years.  Lesley must be having 50 fits.  I am no fan but have to admire a daffodil that spreads so rapidly without problems; I have to admit I don't mind it in its green phases.

John,

that is 'Van Sion' (telemonius plenus).  It is quite strange, as the flowers are inconsistent.  Some more filled than others and often with a different filled arrangement.  I have a small patch of them, which I consider my historic curiosity.

The first narcissus flowering here is always N.asturiensis
