First of the year. Our mild weather is shortening the life of flowers.

Narcissus 'Galathoquilla group' :Not a snowdrop but a Narcissus with a snowdrop name :-d
The first flowering trumpet Narcissus in my garden (the name cause it flower together with the snowdrops). A cross between N. lagoi x N. jonquil (an early small form or N. assoanus) .

Happy New Year!

Is that name a joke Ruben or did you buy it with the name attached, I haven't seen a mention of it anywhere?
-
It's one of Brian Duncan's hybrids, David. Anne W listed for the first time last year. I have one just breaking bud now. The name (Galantoquilla Group) is genuine and registered, you can find it on: Daffseek (http://daffseek.org/detail-page/?cultivar=Galantoquilla%20Group&auto=1)

That's an interesting hybrid, Ruben :) Does it smell?
-
Thanks Matt found it with the correct spelling (Galantoquilla).
-
Oh, Tatsuo, I LIKE that one!
I have a Galantoquilla out as well, very cute and demure.
-
"Shiraume" is just like a little primrose!
-
Oh, Tatsuo, I LIKE that one!
Thanks, Anne. Fortunately, it's a vigorous and good increaser ;)
"Shiraume" is just like a little primrose!
Yes, Matt... or it looks like a miniature hymenocallis for its 6 lobed corona.
-
;) ;) ;) :-*

Narcissus ‘Shiraume’ :)
Tatsuo, this is a very appealing and unique narcissus.
Narcissus romieuxii 'Hat' has been flowering for over 2 weeks and still looks fresh. This is a lovely selection from the late Kath Dryden, "a distinct form with typical particularly large scalloped flowers and flared skirt" and easy to grow. The photograph does not do it justice.
-
Thanks, Cyril. I'm multipling them ;)
Your 'Hat' is lovely, too!
-
Two seedlings are flowering :)
Narcissus romieuxii ‘Treble Chance’ x self
Narcissus cantabricus var. monophyllus SBL545 x SF389
-
VERY nice Tatsuo.
This is one of my greenhouses just now, must be doing wonders for the humidity levels!
-
Lots of hoops out just now - most are seedlings from N. cantabricus x N. romieuxii albidus SF110
-
Some N. cantabricus seedlings
-
Narcissus cantabricus laciniatus, a favourite, and Treble Chance (a Bob Potterton selection and the parent of Tatsuo's hybrid above)
-
Hi Anne,
Did you get one of your small-handed minions to hold those flowers? Because they make the blooms look HUGE! :o
;D
cheers

How did you guess? ;D ;D
-
VERY nice Tatsuo.

Hello Anne. When did you see the sun last? Hoping your place is getting dryer soon.
Your large flowered hybrids, flat corona cantabricus and pinked edges etc... are all fascinating :o :D :)

Some comments on this plant from Facebook:
Brian Duncan added 3 new photos .... and commented :
Tongue-in-cheek I've called these little daffodils 'Galantoquilla Group' or my Snowdrop daffodils. They usually flower about mid-snowdrop season (this year they've beaten most of my snowdrops to it as the first buds have opened. They are about the size and height of snowdrops, they usually show a prominent upright spathe, they have a drooping pose and vertical stems. Bred from N. lagoi x N. jonquil (an early small form or N. assoanus) .
They make a nice start to the daffodils season before Christmas and I can't wait for them to clump up.
Rafa Díez Domínguez asked:
N. asturiensis x N. jonquilla?
Brian Duncan: N. lagoi x N. jonquilla (small early form) or N. assoanus. The jonquilla was given to me by a friend in America and the identification is not certain. I have no doubt that n. lagoi is closely related to N. asturiensis but it is slightly larger and it grows with an upright stem unlike many N. asturiensis - it also usually has a vertical spathe and a drooping pose - all of which make it ideal for using in crosses. Ben zonneveld checked chromosames and made it 47.4 against two clones of N. asturiensis at 22..9 and 23.9. .he said my N. lagoi = N. vilarvidensis.
But the flowers at Vilar vidas are much llarger - unless I missed the true N. vilarvidensis.
Harold Koopowitz: I don't see any jonquilla in that. Maybe it is pure N. lagoi. If you pollinate will it set seed?
Rafa Díez Domínguez: yes, N. lagoi is not valid name, like var. villarvildensis they are just tetraploid N. asturiensis. It puzzle me those hybrids that not show any character from its mother jonquillae
Once I also saw this, between N. jonquilla (mother) and a unidentified big subsp. of bulbocodium which their hybrid hasn't any character in the flower from jonquilla, but the rest of the plant were like jonquilla. This hybrid grew isolated into the river, into the jonquilla clump, between its bulbs.

Moving some stuff to the Moan thread - doesn't go with pretty daffs!

This really is a dainty little thing: Narcissus 'Galantoquilla Group' from Anne Wright.
-
Brian imagined drifts of it with snowdrops.. :)
-
That would be a glorious combination.

In time, no doubt!

Narcissus cantabricus J.W. Blanchard 8820
Whiter than white!
-
The first narcissus asturiensis flower in the rockgarden.
-
Great to see these, Yann and Luc.
-
Narcissus bulbocodium var. conspicuus
Narcissus ‘Don Stead’ from Aberdeen :)
-
I don't think Don Stead was never that compact in Aberdeen, or Yorkshire!
Two small trumpets, just about the earliest with me.
The first is from Bowles Early Sulphur crossed with a seedling from Candlepower x cyclamineus
The next is from N. cyclamineus x Gipsy Queen. The labels are standard 4" ones for scale.
-
I think you're right there, Anne - 'Don Stead' tends to be a pretty neat grower but, as usual, Tatsuo has us beaten!

Narcissus romieuxii var. mesatlanticus[attach=1]

It looks fabulous, doesn't it!
A nice flower, Arnold :)
-
Thanks Anne.
I'm not sure this is the correct name. Some of the N. romieuxii var. mesatlanticus images I've seen show the flower as being much more white than yellow.
-
Mine were all yellow.
-
Here is what we grow as Narcissus romieuxii mesatlanticus - not pure white but not yellow either.
[attachimg=1]
-
I have mesatlanticus from 2 or three sources, and they all open perhaps a shade lighter than Arnold's and end up fading to the same colour as Ian's.
-
Thanks everyone.
Mine came from a reliable source.
Nancy Wilson in California. A Narcissus grower fro many years.
-
Narcissus Hispanicus, bought from Anne back end of last year in flower now.
-
That's early!
Some flowering now here, sister seedlings.
-
A seedling from the very large hoop, 'Mondieu'.
-
Hi Anne I've been moly coddling it in the greenhouse, I wonder if the heat from my heater spurred it on? I really like the Mondieu hoop.
-
Anne, i'll say in my mother tongue : Oh mon dieu! Lovely
-
;D ;D

Receptacle seed Narcissus viridiflora
-
There is some mould beginning on the old flower, cFred - I would carefully remove it to stop the pod being infected.
-
Can I cut flush with the pod?
-
Can I cut flush with the pod?
Not completely flush - leave about 5mm in front of the pod.

Receptacle seed Narcissus viridiflora
It looks like you might!
-
It would be nice ...
I'll have another flowering Narcissus viridiflora (say 'viridiflora' or 'viridiflorus?). There appears to be strong offset from the time it is supposed to bloom.
[attach=1]
The mold is cut with colorette.
[attach=2]
-
Yes, Narcissus viridiflorus :)
-
Narcissus viridiflorus flowers well and produces many offsets for me. Started with 2 in 2011, gave half a dozen away last year, and still have over a dozen left! Only ever got one seed!
-
N 'February Gold'

Nice Philip. My clump has been flattened by the gales.

J'ai fait une auto-fécondation avec le pinceau de peintre.

Ian has almost more paint brushes for pollinating flowers than he does for painting! Useful things!
-
:D :D Moi ils servent pour les deux usages ;D
-
J'ai fait une auto-fécondation avec le pinceau de peintre.
That's easy for you to say. ;D
-
Oui, ce n'est pas encore gagné, il faut que la gousse de graines soit fertile, qu'il n'y ai pas d'accident et que la graine soit bien semée aussi.
Bref, je m'avance un peu vite ... ::)
-
I did a self-fertilization with the paintbrush.
That's easy for you to say. ; D
Yes, it is not yet won, it is necessary that the seed pod is fertile, there was no accident and that the seed is sown as well.
In short, I walk a little faster ...
Of course, success is never a sure thing - but always a good idea to try. :)
-

Tried paint brushes and cocktail sticks, but no joy. I have more clones now, so will try again.
-
The pod is dead, remains the second with three flowers now.
