Autumn Flowering Narcissus 2014

Hi George,
Sorry, I can't say as I've never grown the species itself, just the hybrids.
Some of the other Forumists may be able to answer you,
cheers

I hope to try these some day. Still awaiting my first flowering of autumn narcissi from seed. I have several pots of the white flowered ones that are now three years old so maybe next year?

at least some more daffs here

1. + 2.  Narcissus miniatus/obsoletus - originally from Cadiz
3. + 4. Narcissus x perezlarae - the form with a longer flower stalk - which is said it results from a cross
                                                       from miniatus mother x cavanillesii father

Maggi & David,

Gerd,

Very nice Narcissus - the orange tinted miniatus/obsoletus is very interesting. The autumn Narcissus would more than likely do very well here in our part of California - something I've thought about, however I do not have much in this regard yet. I hope to get up to Iron Mountain this Wednesday - the local California flora certainly keeps me busy. Thanks for sharing the photographs.
