Narcissus March 2015

[Matt T]

So many babies, all crying out for their mother's attention! What a great sight, to see all their cheeriness. Are many of these first time flowerers, Anne?

[Mavers]

What a wonderful sight Anne.

Some of them are, all the pots with pink labels haven't flowered at all before. A few more:

[annew]

Two special ones. The first is a gift from Lesley Cox in New Zealand - 'Susan Cox' - at last it has accepted being up here after a year of being miffed. Very nice it is too.
The second is a group of asturiensis/cyclamineus seedlings from Terry Mitchell, who is also an ace auricula grower. I love the posture of these little flowers.
Finally, the plant I have been calling N. eugenae clone 1, will get a name this year since so many people like it. It came as a rogue seedling (volunteer) in seed of N. eugenae from the AGS seed exchange. It is sterile. Since I've always described it as 'baroque' (because all the twiddly bits), I think I'm going to call it 'Trumpet voluntary'.

Anne, that's what i call a nice collection! Great to share that colors palette, a shame for the jealously guarded scent.

WOW Anne!!    Please reserve me a potfull of that one     

[Yann]

No it's for me

[WimB]

No it's for me

Don't think so    ....Or maybe we should share, do you have Anne's addres?? We can go over and collect them ourselves   

[fermi de Sousa]

.... so it's a shame I'm stuck in the downstairs toilet filling holes before painting the walls 

There are worse reasons for being stuck in the toilet, Anne!

Those seedlings are looking great!
Such a shame that Marcus is no longer importing bulbs
cheers

Fantastic seeing them again. I'm off to Brian Duncans in a couple of weeks

Beautiful tiny trumpets, Anne

Narcissus triandrus var. alejandrei, JJA 707.380. Spain, Burgos, Peňahoradada. R.D.Dominguez coll.

Perhaps it's hard to believe for you but N. triandrus is one of the challenging daffodils here. Bulbs disappear very often during summer dormancy

Not hard for  us to understand, Tatsuo, we find triandrus to be fussy and short-lived.

The first of my Narcissus pseudonarcissus has opened in the garden. They also grow wild in local woods on limestone.
