Arthur, in my village temperatures usually down under 0 in winter. Last week at -5º C. I keep most of Narcissi in a green house. In the nature Narcissus cantabricus (15 minutes far from home) is currently blooming. N. albicans bloomed on 27th of december in Toledo and Badajoz, with temperatures also under 0.

It is a beauty! Also, Rafa's photograph of a lovely form of N. romieuxii is very fine.

Michael, super detailed photographs of a fabulous collection!
Did you have any losses from the cold snap or was all well?

All the bulbs are OK, but lost a lot of tender shrubs in the garden. I have the greenhouses  heated to 4C so everything inside was nice and cosy.

The seed in the pots that were out in the frost are all germinating like grass, must check again, maybe it is grass :)

I empathise, lost a few of my orchid species to the -22c snap of last week, here's hoping for more moderate condiitions in our gardens!!

Sorry if I insist, but I love this hybrid Narcissus x matritensis


 An exquisite flower, Rafa..... but I am confused ( again! :-[ )

Previously I knew N.munozii-garmandiae  as a naturally occurring hybrid between N.triandrus and N.cantabricus.....  then this was  changed to   N. x susannae for plants of this cross ( in either direction) ....
.... then I have a note of this update in 2008...:

..... × susannae Fernández Casas, Exsicc. Distrib. 3: 13 (1980) (Narcissus) (parentage: N. cantabricus de Candolle [as subsp. monophyllus] × N. triandrus Linnaeus [as subsp. pallidulus] = N. × litigiosus

...then recently you gave us names (in connection with a discussion of N. albicans...

where you said....listed N. × litigiosus and said Narcissus x litigiosus is the hybrid with N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus.

Narcissus x matritensis is the hybrid between N. cantabricus and N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus.........


All this is making me very muddled! If, like me, you are confused, read Rafa's post here :
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=4631.msg127140#msg127140   ...it helps a bit!!

yes, sorry, it confused me too....

The problem was many authors described same hybrids based in 3 different parents (N. albicans, N. cantabricus and N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus).

Narcissus x litigiosus (N. albicans x N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus) this is the older name. But this hybrid has been named under many names, like N. x sussanae, etc due the confusion between N. albicans and N. cantabricus,

Narcissus x matritensis (N. cantabricus x N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus) described in Madrid.
