Narcissus triandrus var. alejandrei, JJA 707.380

I love this wild form of N. triandrus, what a beautiful and neat habit. I want to grow it in the future.
Thank you for Sharing, YT.

Narcissus bicolor = abcissus in the garden. It has been collected 2 years ago in the Corbières, southern France.
Third picture is a flower with very large tepal (it's totally hazard as I collected the bulb a month after blooming)

[Karaba]

Some pictures to show the difference between Narcissus bicolor (=abcissus) and N. pseudonarcissus
As you can seen, the corona is longer and the ratio corona/tube is much larger in bicolor. The leaves are very wide and it is really stricking in the wild.

Candlepower was Alec Gray's-registered 1975.     Englander was registered 1992 with hybridiser unknown

Nice piece of history from Rob Potteton .....

A bit of history for you. We exhibited this Narcissus cyclamineus selection at RHS Vincent Square as part of our display in the early 1980’s. During the two day event Sally Kingdom the Narcissus registrar asked what it was, I replied it was an unknown selection and please could she identify us. At the end of the show we gave her a flower. Upon returning to London the following month Sally informed us it was unknown and please could we name it. My dad had grown this plant for many years and said other growers also had plants, as the origin was unknown he chose the name ‘Englander’. It is a thoroughly good garden bulb and long lived. Narcissus cyclamineus ‘Englander’.

It has also been known as 'Usurper' in some places. Here it is as I saw it at The Garden House in March 2016. I posted it on the Forum early in March 2016.
