John, that's a wonderful potful of N cordubensis - the scent must fill your bulb house.
I've had a few small bulbs of the species for a while, but they don't seem to do much and haven't flowered yet.
Well done!

Great shots John and Dominique.

I actually saw 'Tete a tete' for sale in the local Woolworths supermarket today.  Couldn't believe they were forcing it so early.  It's just into the beginning of autumn here.  They're usually early, but not THAT early!!  ::)

All these jonquilla group are confusing me. I grew these a long time ago as something else (can't remember what), but the consensus so far is N. jonquilla. I'd welcome any comments.

Dominique, I've just seen your beautiful pics of 11th March. How do you get N.calcicola to flower so freely? Is it covered (kept dry) in summer? I've never had so much flower from my own plants.
