I'm not sure if we should keep bulbs flowering now in here or place them in the more general 'Flowering Now' forum. We'll see what Maggi says
Two Narcissus flowering now for me are 'Cedric Morris' and an unknown bulbocodium type sold to me as N. minicycla. ID would be great. It's distinctive by having green tipped petals
Mark, I like it here! M

Mark, I have something very similar in flower in the garden now. It is pictured below as narcissus sp. I think it is derived from a plant I received as N sp ABS 4450 which is probably N. albidus. The original looked very like your white 'sp' and I also have an old pic (slide) of it in flower at the same time as N. Cedric Morris. The poor light in my pic below makes the plant look a lot less 'white' than it really is!
Also pictured is an early form of Narcissus cantabricus - probably N c foliosus, this one is under glass.
-
yes that looks like mine. Brian Duncan should have the answer
-
We obtained a pan of N albidus from Helen Greenwood at Discussion W/E and it looks exactly the same as your N sp., Mark. Our's must have been in flower for a month now, first blooms one over but another still good.
-
thanks for the replies
-
I did succeed in sending my first post. :D So I can continue with two Narcissus pictures. Even this genera starts early this year. We do grow all of them in a frost free greenhouse with extra light.
The first is Narcissus romieuxii ssp rifanus followed be Narcissus romieuxii 'Treble Chance'
-
I'm hopeful of flowers every year at this time, but must be content
to enjoy them in forum photos. I have just checked my pots of seedlings,
from seed sown every year since 1997. Still no buds.
Some plants indicate when they are soon to flower: Erythronium leaves
gradually widen and eventually, when the plant has two broad leaves, it
will flower. What about the winter dwarf narcissus? Their leaves are
long and narrow and remain so - at least mine do. I can't see much
difference in my seedlings from each year, though some are six years
older than others.
-
These are the first 2 flowers on Narcissus 'Moulay Brahim', and they're rather splendid - big and a lovely bold yellow. (Hope this works as I haven't got the hang of posting photos yet).
-
Darn it! It's too small now! I'll have to get Leslie to give me IT lessons....
-
Anne, try for about 500 x 500 pixels.. that is about average for the sizes we're seeing nice shots of stuff on the forum. You can go to about 600 x800 and still not be activating a scroll bar, I reckon.
Very much like this N. Moulay Brahim... a new one to me .
-
Take 2 :P
-
Hurrah! That's it! Good big flowers, aren't they? What is the history of this one, Anne?
-
I had it as Narcissus bulbocodium praecox 'Moulay Brahim' from Rannveig Wallis. I can't find it on the web, but there is this on Jim Archibald's site:
NARCISSUS BULBOCODIUM subsp. PRAECOX
Big, soft-yellow flowers in late winter or earliest spring. Narrower, more funnel-shaped trumpets than similarly coloured Narcissus romieuxii forms.
Original collection : Morocco, High Atlas Mts., Moulay Brahim gorge below Asni. 1000m. Humus-filled pockets on limestone boulders.
A robust, distinct race. For the alpine-house in the UK.
The description of the flower doesn't sound right though.
-
Hi, Anne. What we would know as Bulbocodium praecox would have a narrower funnel shaped flower, whereas your Moulay Brahim has a very broad cone flower... Hmm! Who knows, perhaps this was just one collection that proved full and fat of flower... shows how tricky it is to pin down regional variations though, doesn't it?
-
???
My first time trying to post a pic on the new forum - I hope it works.
This is Narcissus bulbocodium x mesatlanticus - flowering in the garden now.
-
:D
It seems to have worked !
-
I've chopped up some of my dodgy bulbs to investigate. These are the worst.
-
looks like Stag. Look at the out of focus leaf. I'll take more photos tomorrow
-
The offenders are already dealt with!
-
Here are a few Narcissus which have awoken in the alpine house. (a couple did in the garden but didn't last long in the gale)
1 Narcissus Nylon Group
2 Narcissus seedling came up in the plunge
3 Narcissus Camoro
4 Narcissus zianicus
-
Some great shots there John !
I'm particularly fond of that chance seedling - very good shape.
Thanks
-
here is one flowering in my greenhouse, I recived it with the name: Narcissus papyraceus ssp. panizzianus,
Chris
-
mucho excitement in the greenhouse today. The difficult to get to flower 'Bowles Early Sulphur' that flowered with only one flower last year has done it again but with 3 flowering bulbs. Noses have just poked through soil level.
-
Do you Narcissus-collectors have Narcissus 'Stainless'? i have a few bulbs. Wim
-
Anyone put a name to this narcissus flowering now in my greenhouse?
-
Wim I dont know the name. Is it a trumpet or a Hoop?
Anthony I dont know my Hoops
-
as far as i know a full white trumpet from USA , you can find it on google. Wim

Hope this helps. I don't know it but it looks pretty if a little tall for us at 16-18 inches (circa 40-45cms).
