My N. romieuxii is in more or less full flower at the moment. This seems to appreciate a very hard summer dormancy.
-
A nice potful hoop petticoats, Rob :)
-
Narcissus romieuxii ‘Mrs. McGee’
I love its very smooth rim of the corona 8)
-
Finally it's a bit late compared to 2019, the first daffodils are blooming.
Narcissus romieuxii ssp. albidus (Emb. & Maire) A. Fern
Serious study among bulbocodium group is needed, Michaek Salmon consider it as cantabricus ssp eualbidus...
-
Narcissus cyclamineus
-
Narcissus romieuxii
-
Narcissus asturensis
Cutest little daffodil ever. Grown from 2016 seed from one of the big three seed exchanges. I saw it blooming in Portugal on a Greentours trip.
-
that's a fast grower, only 4 years :o
-
Ok same narcissus but I couldn't resist showing the picture I posted of it with my hand knitted gnome. This was staged for a knitting website.
-
The daffs are just the right size too!
An early bloomer here - Narcissus Shiraume, a gift from a generous friend :-*
It is a very distinctive flower shape, which I hope to pass to some seedlings, but what surprised me when I took the pot to a meeting last week, and had it in the car, is the very powerful scent, which is reminiscent of Narcissus jonquilla.

Lovely daffodil, annew!

A brilliant potful, Anne :D Mine is just pushing its buds through the soil surface.
-
Yours will probably be a perfect cushion plant !
-
With such a very neat shape to the flowers it is really good to learn that Narcissus Shiraume also has a delightful scent - what a great plant!

Does someone know when the latest RHS Daffodil, Snowdrop & Tulip yearbook will be out?

Publication in the autumn was delayed, I understand - The latest information on the availability of the delayed RHS Daffodil, Snowdrop & Tulip 2019 yearbook is that it is due to be published later in January.
I suggest you contact Mr J Gibson, 14 Waverley Road, Kettering, Northamptonshire NN15 6NT
or email
gibbo.john@ntlworld for details. He should be able to help.
Email enquiries regarding the limited availability of back copies also welcome.
-
I understand around 2-3 weeks.

Thank you for this Information - I'll send an email to John"!

Despite the dark clouds Narcissus are at their best this year, Narcissus albidus SF110 freshly repoted.
Narcissus romieuxii, a very hardy species. Leaving pot outside year round.
Narcissus jacquemoudii (aka Narcissus romieuxii subsp. jacquemoudii)
-
Amazed you can grow these outside, Yann. Even if it were warm enough, they would be battered or eaten here!
-
Anne the pots are kept along my greenhouse, protected from direct rains and wind. Slugs don't touch my daffodils...but they destroy my crocus, a hell this winter.
It's not cold enough and slugs are still very active all around the garden. Slugs are my N°1 enemy for several years and i didn't find a method to slow them down. The 3 hedgehogs hosted along my greenhouses are not enough to eat all of them >:(
-
Here are two daffodils which were grown in an alpine house although I kept N. hedraeanthus outside
when temperatures are above zero.
The other one (not sure if it is properly determined) developed an interesting rim
Gerd
-
A VERY interesting rim - so pretty.
-
Thank you Anne! It looks quite similar to your Shiraume - I 'll ask my wife for the scent.

I saw a daffodil in flower outside someones house yesterday. Global warming? It looked too old to be February gold.

Indeed for the last 6 years i'm able to grow many mediterranean species outside without protection.
spanish and morrocan Narcissus can withstand very cold temperatures, several weeks without any problem.
If planted deep they don't fear the wetness when heavy rains produce water ponds.
+/- 60% of my collection is now in the garden, sometimes in heavy clay without any grit, no loss until now which is not the case in the greenhouse.
