Narcissus early winter 2007

[Lesley Cox]

Here is a picture of my N. b. obesus, in a pot. But while the one Cris photographed is early, mine is among the last to flower at the end of spring. It's just finished this last week (May, if I lived in the Northern Hemisphere).

Nice clump Lesley - as to the flowering season, I think Cris photographed hers last spring in Portugal, I believe March - out here (some 1500 km North of Portugal) it's April before they flower in the garden.

Gerd, tanks for explanation. I've learned a bit more

Lesley, they are so nice in that pot, with so many flowers. I've some in the ground, I hope they flower this year.

Marc, the pics were taken in May in their habitat. The're start now puting their leaves outside. But i've seen them just near Lisbon, a 50Km north, +/- 700 m high.

I let you a pic of one of mines, in a pot last year.

Thanks Luc, for the note. I'd missed that Cris's pics were in March, last year. I need to open my eyes more

Lesley, you have seen well, in an anterior post I've said that I thougt they're blooming in march.  Just today, when I looked better to the dates is that I've seen that they were in flower in May. Sorry for the confusion! It's me who must to keep the eyes open and pay more attencion
