Does someone know when the latest RHS Daffodil, Snowdrop & Tulip yearbook will be out?

Gerd
  Publication in the  autumn was  delayed, I  understand  - The latest information on the availability of the delayed RHS Daffodil, Snowdrop & Tulip 2019 yearbook is that it is due to be published later in January.

 I suggest  you contact   Mr J Gibson, 14 Waverley Road, Kettering, Northamptonshire NN15 6NT
or  email
 gibbo.john@ntlworld for details. He  should  be  able to help.

Email enquiries regarding the limited availability of back copies also welcome.

Despite the dark clouds Narcissus are at their best this year, Narcissus albidus SF110 freshly repoted.
Narcissus romieuxii, a very hardy species. Leaving pot outside year round.
Narcissus jacquemoudii (aka Narcissus romieuxii subsp. jacquemoudii)

Amazed you can grow these outside, Yann. Even if it were warm enough, they would be battered or eaten here!

Anne the pots are kept along my greenhouse, protected from direct rains and wind. Slugs don't touch my daffodils...but they destroy my crocus, a hell this winter.
It's not cold enough and slugs are still very active all around the garden. Slugs are my N°1 enemy for several years and i didn't find a method to slow them down. The 3 hedgehogs hosted along my greenhouses are not enough to eat all of them >:(

Here are two daffodils which were grown in an alpine house although I kept N. hedraeanthus  outside
when temperatures are above zero.
The other one (not sure if it is properly determined) developed an interesting rim

Thank you Anne! It looks quite similar to your Shiraume - I 'll ask my wife for the scent.

I saw a daffodil in flower outside someones house yesterday. Global warming? It looked too old to be February gold.

Indeed for the last 6 years i'm able to grow many mediterranean species outside without protection.
spanish and morrocan Narcissus can withstand very cold temperatures, several weeks without any problem.

If planted deep they don't fear the wetness when heavy rains produce water ponds.

+/- 60% of my collection is now in the garden, sometimes in heavy clay without any grit, no loss until now which is not the case in the greenhouse.
