The mild weather and low light is playing havoc with the stems on my hoop petticoat daffs, but I had to show you this pot of Craigton Clumper. There are 73 bulbs in this pot!
-
Incredible! :o :o
-
Wow! Given that it hasn't been properly light here for days and my greenhouse is in the shade mine have totally flopped.

Well named isn't it? !!!

The same's happened to many of my hoops, there has also been no wind to strengthen the stems. Good job they're not needed for a show!

Every time I saw pictures of him, I find that he bears his name well. I find it beautiful. If one day it is on the list of offer SRGC seeds in bulbilles, I adopt. ;D

Another seedling of petunioides x romieuxii fully opened today. Its flower is flatter than the first one.
Narcissus cantabricus var. petunioides x N. romieuxii
A seedling bred in 2013 opens its first flower at last :)
2 more seedlings are coming soon.
-
Beautiful seedlings Tatsuo I wish ours would stay as short in the stem.
It is approaching the peak flowering time for our hoops, they will feature in this week's Bulb Log, there are so many new seedlings flowering.
-
Thank you, Ian :) Can't wait Wednesday!
-
So envious of Tatsuo's lovely short stems. Just beautiful.

Narcissus Galantoquilla Group, from Anne W, and Narcissus romieuxii subsp. albidus var. zaianicus.

Narcissus minor, JJA 702.305

Looking lovely, Ralph. The daffs too! ;D
-
Narcissus minor, JJA 702.305
Goodness me! When you say 'minor', you really mean it!
-
Thanks, Anne :)
Here is another one. A self pollinated seedling from Narcissus cantabricus subsp. monophyllus S.S.120 Spain, Brazatortas. Almost all flowers of this plant are 5 petalled in the last 3 seasons.

5 stamens too.

It's time for the (mostly) pale, miniature trumpets. A selection of the best:
Narcissus Candlepower
Narcissus Gypsy Queen
Narcissus Wee Dote
Narcissus Look Sharp
-
Pale - and most definitely interesting!
-
A fanfare of these tiny trumpets herald in spring :D
-
Narcissus 'Viridiflora Cultivar 3'.

Narcissus 'Viridiflora Cultivar 3'.
I think he has a good perfume. Is not that Ralph?
-
Yes, pleasant, but not very strong.

Wow! They are early up there! None of mine are out yet.

Very nice Matt - another 4 for my list - Candlepower is my favorite
-
Narcissus Gypsy Queen was sold in a garden center near my home this year.
-

They are indeed. Most of my bulbs have generally been earlier than in recent years. We've also bee blessed with a relatively dry and sunny winter, which has helped things along too.
-

Candlepower is a real star, one of Alec Gray's hybrids. The flowers fade to off-white as they age (two photos of the same flower here from last year). I may be able to spare a bulb when I repot this summer.
-
More miniature trumpets have opened in the last couple of days. This set mostly have punchier colours than the weekends pale bunch, but they are no less interesting.
Narcissus 'Fairy Gold;
Narcissus jacentanus
Narcissus 'Gypsy Vale'
Narcissus 'Coo' (in the act of opening asymmetrically)
Narcissus 'Galantoquilla Group' - just want to make another plug for this beauty, which is a good increaser. From one bulb/flower last year, there are three flowers open now with another coming and a good tuft of leaves.
-
You've got a really nice collection going there Matt.
-
Lovely, Matt. Brian's 'Snowdrop Daffodils' (Galantoquilla) really do keep the snowdrops company.
Here's one of my first trumpets to flower from Candlepower x cyclamineus.
-
My very first bulb of Narcissus asturiensis is flourishing. This will be the first time I have a flower and it will be the only one of the year. :D
Do you think self-pollination has a chance to succeed ?
[attachimg=1]
-
yes, try that, Fred.
-
I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to grow this bulb of Narcissus albimarginatus . I was sent it to act as a back-up for a few bulbs held in a botanic garden. It was so frustrating to be away at a snowdrop event while it was opening its flowers back home!
It is an endangered Moroccan endemic, and it is difficult to believe looking at the flower that it is a wild species, with the beautiful white rim to the corona. The rest of the flower is a very deep warm yellow, and it has the most delicious sweet scent. I expect you can tell I am smitten!
I will be self pollinating the flowers to try and obtain seeds, which hopefully will help to perpetuate it. I am sorry, but please don't ask for bulbs or seeds (at least for a few years) - the bulbs are not mine, I am just baby-sitting!
I will be sending pollen to some trusted breeders, so that at least its genes can be spread around.

WOW!
What a stunner - I don't think I'd seen a pic of this before!!!
Thanks for sharing, Anne

Certainly a stunner and very desirable!
Here's Narcissus hedraeanthus, tiny tiny tiny!

Spectacular isn't it? Very rare and so pretty. We have had pix before ( of course we have!!) from Rafa, who also shared his pix to the PBS wiki.

Anne, it is true that the flower seems so perfect, I understand your emotion.
Ralf, he looks a little crumpled the hedraeanthus. Is this normal?

Don't know, Fred. Will have to see when the other buds open.
-
I received seed of this species back in the autumn. The seedlings are still alive and I just hope I can keep them that way! Any specific tips for successful cultivation of this species, Anne, or should I just treat it like the others?
-
WOW from me too. Something much less rare from me Narcissus 'February Gold' and a week or so earlier than last year.
-
Matt, I've just treated it like the others. Good luck with your babies! You will have a slightly broader gene pool if they get to flowering size.
-
Narcissus 'Mite' has surfaced after 2 years asleep.
Photo 2009, can't recall the exact parentage.

"If" being the imperative word! IF I do get any to flowering size we will have to arrange a gene swap! ;)

Two from the mildest despot in the world:
Narcissus romieuxii 'Craigton Clanger' always the first to flower (2 to 3 weeks before his sister) and a lot quicker to clump up.
Narcissus romieuxii 'Craigton Clumper'
Not flowering at full power this year, bc I divided them last summer.
-
You are finding C.Clanger clumps faster than C. Clumper? Fancy that!

Yes...it's baffling ;-)

New flower not so crumpled, Fred.
-
Narcissus 'Galantoquilla Group' still looking good; Narcissus jacetanus.
-

This one is very beautiful Ralph. ;)
Mine multiplied in several bulbs last year.
They will only make leaves this year. ::)

Yours is increasing and flowering as well as mine, Ralph. What a great plant - a real winner in my book.
-
Yes Matt, a real winner.
Here's Narcissus 'Viridiflora Cultivar 1'
-
Narcissus "viridiflora I" is really very beautiful. This year it will not flourish at home. The flower has aborted. On the other hand there are many leaf jets. I think it multiplies well.
-
Just flowering
Narcissus bulbocodium from the Tizi n'Tichka Pass
Narcissus romieuxii from the Oum-Er-Rbia river (I was told the name means 'mother of spring')
Narcissus munozii-garmendiae - totally hardy outside here
Gerd
-
Lot's of nice flowers in this thread, here's Narcissus 'Mitimoto', got it from Anne.
as shown by Fred the Viridiflora are vigorous
-
Lovely photos, Yann.
-
A couple of pictures of one I acquired years ago, I think as Narcissus minor, if that is still a valid name.
And a couple or reliable early trumpets, Narcissus 'February Gold' and Narcissus 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation'.
-
Today in full bloom:

Narcissus romieuxii ‘Atlas-Gold’ (JCA 805)
-
Magnificent well-stocked pot.
-
Narcissus 'Viridiflora Cultivar 5'.
-
It is really green this one.
-
Today in full bloom:
Magnificent!

Here a first flower of a seedling sown in march 2014 (so, its third year) from a mix of seeds. It looks like a N. romieuxii but I don't have this species and don't know it except pictures. Is it possible to know if it as blood from other species ?
Also a picture of the first "jonquilles" of the year, this is always the one in the most shadowy place.
Narcissus romieuxii
Narcissus pseudonarcissus
-

The Plant List lumps this in Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. minor (L.) Baker, along with some other considered by many to be species.

I love the Narcissus pseudonarcissus. These are the ones that grow naturally in my area, in my wood.
