Gerd

That's a super display, i wonder how you keep it so tidy and clean...
When i see such displays I'm embarrassed to show mine..my pots are practically one on top of the other....

Do you know the origin of the M. orange, its a beauty and grows well with me.

[Gerry Webster]

So very beautiful, Gerd. I am very jealous!

Me too. Many thanks Gerd.

[David Nicholson]

Congratulations Gerd, that really is tidy.


As a non-expert and comparing Gerd's pic of his Narcissus miniatus Mallorcan form with his Cadiz form it's hard to believe that they are the same species.

Gerd,

A wonderful display, really enjoyed looking back over it.

I wonder if these could be grown outside in parts of New Zealand?

I'm growing serotinus/miniatus outside here, Anthony.  If that is any help?

Not really Paul as you get extremes that are not known in NZ. I know some parts of NZ have a Mediterranean climate, such as Hawkes Bay, which would be ideal. South Western Australia would be the nearest equivalent to the Med.

Thanks for the additional compliments!
- but ' tidy and clean ' ? - only a few spots in the whole garden!

Oron, I'm glad that the 'orange' miniatus does well - the origin is
Andalucia, between Chiclana and Medina Sidonia - a place which exists no longer due to excessive road construction.

Lovely Gerd, you certainly grow them well.

Still waiting for my Narcissus cavanillesii to be delivered from Wrexham, don't know why I bothered now

[Hans A.]

Superb grown Narcissus, Gerd!

Here two more in flower, Narcissus viridiflorus and Narcissus miniatus with larger flowers from a small island of the balearic archipelago.

[BULBISSIME]

I love N. viridiflorus and it's perfume
