What a wonderful shape the Narcissus 'Galligaskins' plant is Paul - it's very attractive and the slightly wavy edge of the flower trumpets hidden amongst the explosion of leaves  :)

The leaves look to be good and firm making a nice 'hedgehog' clump to set off the flowers. Very nice, Paul.

Wow, Paul. Just how many bulbs are hiding in there? It looks like a Narcissus crossed with Asphodelus acaulis!!

Thanks David and Robin.

I am trying to show pics of the clump each time, instead of just an individual flower, because so many of them vary considerably.  If you look at my previous pics of 'Taffeta' you'll see how different that is to this one, in where the flowers sit and how they are facing.  I have another clump opening at the moment, this one of 'Tarlatan'.  It has few leaves and the flowers are solid and chunky.  Another totally different look.  I am awaiting a few more flowers out before I post a pic of it.

Glad you're enjoying the pics.

Simon,

No idea how many bulbs there are in there, as I didn't get anything in the "crocus garden" repotted this year.  I think it was the one that multiplied from one bulb to about 15 the first year I got it, and this is it's second season in the ground since then.  So I have no idea.  Probably LOTS of them though.  ;D

It's not one I have heard of, though I don't really know much about Narcissus. Is it an Australian bred one?

Simon,

Yep, It's a Glenbrook bred daff.  Registered in 2002.  I just checked daffseek to make sure I got it right (having got 'Taffeta' wrong earlier in this topic!  ::))  If you don't have much experience with daffs, I can always help you develop an addiction to them.   :o ;D ;)

Hi Rob
we grow N. x intermedius which is a cross between a jonquill and a tazzetta, but yours doesn't seem to have as much of the tazetta in its appearance.
cheers
fermi

Blanchard says exactly what you say Fermi: a hybrid between Narcissus jonquilla and N. tazetta. The photo is Blanchard's book is exactly as Rob shows, closer to jonquilla. It is not, however, a form of Narcissus elegans, which has white petals and flowers in October.

Paul, that Galligaskins is very nice. As others have mentioned the shape of that clump is fantastic.
Keep the pics going.

Hi Paul- do you grow Narcissus from seed at all?

Kees,

Yes, I have grown some from seed and have other seed fresh sown this year.  My "Autumn Colour Strain" Narcissus tazetta that I have shown (I have more pics of those to post shortly) were grown from seed from the US.  I haven't flowered many from seed as yet, and they do seem to take rather a long time to get any size on them, at least with the awful way I treat them.  ::)

Here's some more pics of some of my seedlings from the US seed which was crossing the early flowering tazettas.  These are to add to the very early pale yellow/white one that started flowering in mid April.  Many of these have been in flower for a month or more by now, in some cases longer.  Just wanted to put some of them together.

Some more hoop types that are in flower now....

Narcissus 'Twenty Fiver'
Narcissus romieuxii var Rifanicus JWB 89-23
And a comparison shot of the two to show mow different they are in size (which never shows up well in individual pics).

Then there are 4 pics of an unlabelled one I have.  I can't get it to match anything I have out at the moment, but it has beautiful flower shape.  I am assuming it is named and I have lost it somewhere along the line.  I've included a couple of pics of a fresh flower, and a couple of pics of a flower that has matured.  Beautiful shape to it, which is why I would love to know what it is.  Anyone got any ideas?

Don't forget to click on the pic for a larger version!
