Our first narcissus for the season is this tiny Narcissus obsoletus (? received as Narcissus serotinus)

Fermi seems to be the only one of that noticed it is now March! Well done getting that to flower - I struggle with the autumn flowerers.
-
Having been sniffled off for taking the daff babies down to Rosemoor, I spent today taking portraits of them so at least I can show you. They are all miniatures.

Hello Fermi, your plant is Narcissus deficiens (orange segmented corona, green straight perianth tube)
-
I feel very fortunate that although, like everyone else, we are under siege, I can go out in the garden and wander (lonely as a cloud....) among the daffs. Even in the rain, the birds are singing. Happy to share with you all.
First photo from the front - Little Beauty, swallow, Rapture, Peeping Jenny
Second photo - Trena in foreground.
3 - February Gold
4 - Narcissus lobularis
5 - N. varduliensis

Anne,
What a lovely garden! We don't usually see more than your individual plants. Nice and cheery - we need that.
Thank you.
-
Faburous seedlings, Anne! :D Your beautiful garden looks comfortable :)
-
Narcissus seedlings with their first flowers.
And harvest season is coming!

First flowers are SO exciting!

Thanks, Rafa.
This one came to us as Narcissus miniatus from Harold Koopavitz in the US via Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra.
First pic taken on 16th and the others on 19th of this month

Great pictures Fermi!
I add a pic of Narcissus triandrus var. concolor here (not my own plant)

trumpets are funny ;)
In the garden daffodils are well blooming this year. I grow many old cultivars from Croft 16 and a few ones are already shaking in the wind.
Narcissus 'Niphetos'
Narcissus 'Multamanta'
Narcissus 'Brilliancy'
-
Hi Folks,
I've never seen one of these on a Daff before.... Is it just a curiosity or should I go into panic mode? The growth is on a 4W-Y(Double) called 'Greek Surprise'.

Well it's certainly a surprise!

I love these historical daffs, I have been buying a few each year from Croft 16 as well.
-
Most of the later-flowering daffs have been having their portraits taken today. Some are pretty and some just BIO (botanical interest only).
2827 is Narcissus rupicola Rapiata x Candlepower
3136 is Creme Fraiche Group - Narcissus watieri x rupicola Spring Charm
3172 is Panna Cotta Group - Narcissus rupicola Spring Charm x watieri
3136 are seedlings from N. rupicola 'Spring Charm' Very small with very blue leaves.
-
More:
3059 is Narcissus triandrus x assoanus
3977 is Narcissus triandrus pallidulus x fernandesii
4704 is my first double seedling, judging by the size of the bud. - Crème Fraiche x 'Van Sion'. I've been waiting 3 weeks for iy to open.....zzzzzz
-
Last few:
Giselle
N. obesus Lee Martin
Little Jen - Narcissus triandrus x rupicola Spring Charm
Vitrina - Narcissus bulbocodium nivalis x triandrus
-
I have just spent 2 hours pollinating. No buzz left. The flowers that didn't get to the Rosemoor daffodil competition were in perfect condition, so I've put them in vases and photographed them quick before they collapse!
Happy Mother's Day to all mum's separated from our families.
-
Amazing narcissi as usual, Anne. I wish they were all hardy here.
The first to flower for me is Narcissus asturiensis
[attachimg=1]
-
Lovely form!
-
Another autumn flowering Narcissus - this was raised from seed from the AGS Seedex 2011 collected in Coripe, Sevilla, Spain as Narcissus miniatus but these were then lumped into N. obsoletus as I mentioned in 2017. Rafa later told me that it should be considered to be Narcissus deficiens
cheers

Beautiful, Fermi!
-
Happy to see gardens coming to life. Soothing to the mind.
Ann your garden looks amazing
-
Yesterday's portraits, and comments on my species names please.
Narcissus bulbocodium tenuifolius
Narcissus cerrolazae pale form bottom right, normal form two flowers top left. Difficult to show the colour difference!
Narcissus cerrolazae
Narcissus jonquilla minor.
Narcissus jonquilla henriquesii
-
I received this by seed from a friend in New Zealand as N. cuatrecaasii, but it seems more likely to be N. rupicola. However it is a paler shade of yellow and seeds true. Smells like N. rupicola
New Zealand plant left, standard Rupicola right - again very difficult to show the difference in colour. The NZ plant is a more sulphur yellow.
Lastly, Little Jen is now fully out!
-
More portraits! Getting a lot done since we are stuck at home. A small bright side.
2972 comes from N. triandrus x Second Fiddle. Both parents were white, so the variation in the seedlings was a surprise. This is one of only two seedlings surviving.
3955 N. triandrus var triandrus x rupicola 'Spring Charm' these are the same parents that produced 'Little Jen', but this time the two sisters have reverse bicolour flowers.
-
The rest of the photos are to show what a huge variation in size, as well as colour there is in the various N. triandrus forms. Please jump in if you think I have the names incorrect.
-
Anne, tremendous to see all your spring daffs!
Here's the latest of our autumn flowerers, Narcissus 07-02T (N.tazetta ssp lacticolor x N.elegans) which we got from Lawrence Trevanion a few years ago
cheers
fermi
-
Stunning contrast in colour.
-
These are two tazettas, the first one is a collection of Theo Sanders from Figueras/Spain. It is hardy here in the north and also free flowering.
The second one is Narcissus canaliculatus - from the trade and it builts only flowers after a warm and dry resting periode is given
Gerd
-
Wow, you've got flowers from canaliculatus ?! I've got this commercial clone since maybe 20 years and never saw any flower It just multiply somewhere, I remember it only when I see its leaves and forget it just a minute later.
I've also Narcissus tazetta from southern France, and it is flowering every year and set seeds, a quite tall form with stalk of ~50 cm.
-
Yvain,
The trick to obtain flowering N. canaliculatus is 3 months in a box with artificial heat (ca. 25° C) during summer - nothing more ;)
