Narcissus March 2015
« on: March 01, 2015, 09:36:38 AM »
I'm so happy to finally have this lovely Narcissus in my collection after seeing it many times in English gardens at snowdrop time. It has been battered by yesterdays wind and rain and is no longer photogenic  :( with the stems almost flat. Buds point skywards before lowering while they open

Narcissus pallidiflorus

I suppose I should confess my moonlighting for that fine old firm Wrappitt, Droppitt and Haulem ...... where I gained much experience in this field....

I braved the howling wind and mini-blizzards to take a few pics yesterday. The seedlings are opening fast now, so I want to be in the greenhouse all the time, so it's a shame I'm stuck in the downstairs toilet filling holes before painting the walls  >:(
