   No. bulbs
sp/other people’s cvs chips (ch 18)      375
sp/other people’s cvs                      3222
Own seedlings                              3847
Own seedlings chips (ch 18)              802
                                                 total   8246
 :o :o
Now to start on the snowdrops!

I have autumn narcissi out now. It has been very wet, but temperatures still in the low 20s. First one I think is Narcissus deficiens. The others are N. obsoletus from two sources.

I have been told that this, grown from seed sent by Bill the Bulb Baron, is a cross between Narcissus 'Autumn colors' and (possibly a tetraploid) 'Paper White'.

We got this autumn flowering daffodil from Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra.
It originates from Harold Koopowitz in the States and he called it "SFR" - small, flat, round!
cheers

I'm going to lower the tone here and show some big daffs and a couple of small doubles

This patch of Narcissus 'Van Sion' and probably 'King Alfred' is flowering really well this year.  The clumps are a bit congested but no way am I going to dig up bulbs in grass.



Narcissus 'Mount Hood' never seems to get really white



This is a seedling parentage probably 'Mount Hood' or 'Empress of Ireland' x Roseworthy'.  I rather like it.  'Roseworthy is a prolific seeder.  There are so many seedlings often very similar to the parent I am not sure I could identify the real thing.



Another seedling



Narcissus 'Pencrebar' disappearing under the Daphne again.  I thought I had lost it but it reappeared when I cut back the daphne a few years ago.



Last but not least Narcissus 'Rip van Winkle'.  I was growing it in a pot and thought it looked virused so I threw away the bulbs under some larch trees which have since been felled.  A flower appeared a couple of years ago and the leaves look perfectly healthy.

Look like what Rafa calls Narcissus deficiens. Corona has three small scales rather than a tube. The tube widens slightly towards the petals. so it is not serotinus. Here's a good page to look at. http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=16048.0
