Are they scented?

Thanks for compliments!

N. serotinus has a nice scent - the other one not (at least not at a temperature of + 10 ° Celsius this morning).

First viridiflorus of the season, very tiny form.

These are

Narcissus deficiens (miniatus) in an orange tone
                                            in a yellowish tone (colour not true reproduced here)  + see extra petals!
                                            and with a 'normal' deficiens for comparison

I am finding it difficult to follow the various names for the autumn-flowerers.
I received this as N. serotinus, but it may be N. obsoletus. Any comments please!

Without any doubt not Narcissus serotinus L. - Spanish specialists call it deficiens (miniatus) now - I am in the process of to become accustomed to this.

Ha!  ;D ;D
What should I put on the label - N. deficiens? I am seriously considering putting several labels in each pot, each with a different name. Hopefully one will be correct!

Anne, you are not alone. In my collection there are labels with serotinus ?, miniatus, obsoletus and deficiens in the end. All for the same species.
Without any doubt the split of Narcissus serotinus into two distinct species was overdue. The problems which arose then concerning the nomenclature are a mess. It reminds of the Babylonion language confusion.

This was non-flowering for two years and now pushes up a bloom before leaves.

It somehow seems very apt for Halloween.  :P

It is a bit strange when you consider the look of most Narcissus.

Your Craigton Chorister will win the race to be first of the hoops in flower here - it is showing buds already.

Can anybody help with a source of bulbs or seeds of Narcissus triandrus subsp pulchellus?
Title: Re: Narcissus October 2020
Post by: Yann on November 03, 2020, 07:22:45 AM

Usually serotinus/obsoletus are fast grower.

The buds of Craigton Chorister are also showing here and depending on our weather in the coming weeks it could soon be singing....

Bulbocodium flowering outside in a trough on 1st Novermber. Seed collected from garden growing plants and scattered on the trough 2-3 years ago. Parents usually flower around March. Apologies for the poor quality of the photo.
