Title: Narcissus July 2021
Post by: fermi de Sousa on July 10, 2021, 05:51:06 AM

Mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere and the narcissus are starting their main season!
1) Narcissus 'Autumn Colors' - grown by a friend from seed from the late Bill Welch ("The Bulb Baron")
2) Narcissus 'Untshen' - one of Lawrence Trevanion's "Baby Talk" series
3) one of LT's Narcissus 'Winter Colors' series - I've labelled this #5
4) unlabelled daff, possibly Narcissus romieuxii seeding
5) unlabelled early yellow hoop-petticoat, possibly a seedling
cheers

A hoop petticoat daff raised from seed from Narcissus 'Oidle Loidle' (another LT "Baby Talk") which is a shade darker

Another seedling we raised - from 'Mondieu' which is a Glenbrook selection from Narcissus romieuxii.
The seed was sown in 2010 and this has flowered before but looking particularly good this year,
cheers

Last year we got a new Glenbrook "hoop" called 'Sacré bleu'  - but I didn't think it matched the description.
This year it appears to be closer! It's also a 'Mondieu' seedling, I think
