I am very happy ,at last I am able to post..

[Lesley Cox]

Welcome to the Forum ikizzeki. I hope you'll enjoy posting here and reading what others have to say about their plants. For us "old timers" ( ) it's always good to have some new input and especially from Turkey and your part of it, the home of so many fantastic and beautiful plants. I hope you'll show us many of your native bulbs over time.

And thank you both, gentlemen, for your pictures of 'Bell Song.' A few years ago I bought this from a garden centre and I like it very much (same as yours) but last year I was given a packet of 6 with the same name and though they were pink and white, the flowers were larger and had a much larger cup so I wasn't sure which was the true 'Bell Song.' Now I know. I like the way the slightly yellowish colour gradually changes to pink as it ages. Goodness knows what the other might be though. A photo later in the year.

Some photos of the daffodil plantings at Wisley taken last week.

That leaves dreamer Anne. What is funny to see in Narcissus bulbocodium is that they all want to look to the same place. This adds to the beauty of the mass effect.

Narcissus pseudonarcissus

I saw millions of it today. All simular, the one a bit bigger or more or less yellow to another.
But i found one very special one (and its stable + fertile cause it seeds around - we found 5 good clumps of plant and collect only a few bulbs!!).

First you see the population
Second you see the found (right) and on the left you see a nomal pseudonarcissus
some pictures of it , we called it 'Beaute de wallonie'

[johnralphcarpenter]

Very nice Ruben.

[Maggi Young]

Certainly very different find there with no trumpet- it must also be a silent 'Beaute de Wallonie'!
