Thanks to all for the kind comments.  I haven't repotted in three years and was going to do this year but never got to it.

I've been using a fertilizing product designed for soil and hydroponic applications.

It has worked very well.

All of the miniature Narcissus are throwing up many flowering stems.

Just in flower - autumnal or already  winter flowering?

Still not a lot flowering in my greenhouse. When I re-potted earlier in the year I merged a number of pots Narcissus bulbocodium seedlings and forms in order to save space and this was one of those so merged but I wonder if I have a label problem? These do look like N. romieuxii to me, but then, what do I know!

I think we are crossing into winter/spring flowering narcissi now?

Narcissus 'Camoro'

Anthony winter has not started here yet just a few cold days so spring seems a long way off.

I'm remembering the winter of 2010-11. It started in November with 4' of snow that was still there when we left at the end of January. I seem to remember years when spring was April and May, summer was June and July and then autumn started in August.

Happy New Year!

Narcissus albidus var. foliosus, ex. SF284. This is the first hoop petticoat at here this season and it's 3 weeks or more later than the usual.

Happy New Year, YT!

Our narcissus are late this year too. Ian is weeping about it in every Bulb Log! :'(

I see from your blog pages that you have a lovely Massonia in flower too - very nice.
