Next week there is a Narcissus competition again at the show. Do you mean I can leave my camera at home then?? :-\

Of course not! :o

Luit, I think I'd be very happy to have similar taste to yours. :-*

Luit

Thanks for the pictures - great.

Do the showers transport the blooms dry or in water to the show?

Frazer
Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

Thanks Luit; some wonderful narcissus and other things, lovely to see 8)   
'Cool Crystal' is especially nice & one I must look out for.

The flowers of Lachenalia contaminata remind me of L. pustulata which has been blooming here for the last month or so, though the foliage is very different of course.

Frazer, I must say that when I arrive at the show most flowers are already on the tables. But I know that for instance one exhibitor picks his flowers on the field on Saturday, puts them in water and on Sunday he arranges the flowers in the vases. On Monday he needs several hours bringing them all in and putting them on the tables.
But I think that generally speaken Narcissus flowers for the show will need a little water after picking. Keeping them dry will only be possible when picking them a few hours before the show.

As always, many thanks Luit, lovely to see all these.  That Alstroemeria pulchra var. lavandulacea is striking.
