While the freeze persists, an opportunity to photograph some daffodils, these are selected hoop petticoat seedlings, only Daphnis is named so far. The Daphnis flowers show the evolution of the flower shape as it matures, from cone to disk to rolled rim on the oldest flower.

That is absolutely gorgeous Gerd! New to me, is it scented?
-
Superb, Gerd - I am glad you are more successful with it than I am! The scent is rich and powerful.

Yes, as Ann stated - it has a nice scent!

Thank you Ann! What are the difficulties with your plants? I am not the experienced grower of daffodils but until now I had
no problems with albimarginatus.

Gerd, if I knew what the problem was, I would fix it. The bulbs got smaller and stopped flowering. I tried in different conditions, but it doesn't seem to help. I sent some back to Spain last year as I did not want to kill them all, but the few I have left are just emerging. I do have hybrid seedlings from them though. I am really happy to see they are doing well somewhere else, as I know how rare and precious they are.
-
I see it has a KV number - did Kurt Vickery collect the seeds? Can you tell me how you are growing it?

Looking back at Kurt's 2017 catalogue, my interpretation is that the seeds are from cultivated plants of his own collection at Bou Hachem, Morocco, rather than selling wild collected seeds directly. I'd assume that the original wild collection of KV 702 was of seed rather than plants. The catalogue also indicates that the original collection was a solo trip.

Thanks, Matt.

Wow, so beautiful. They are not seen often !
How tall are they ? and do they set seeds ?

Yvain, they are about 30 cm and they build seed. Seedset seems a bit erratic - last year there were none.

Thank you Anne. Your reply reminds me to be more carefully with this species. Indeed they were slightly smaller here than a year before, so I have to prevent that this will continue.

Things are coming into flower so quickly, it's hard to keep up with the photography.
Below: Fling, Deryn, Wee Nod, Susan Cox, Columba, and an unnamed seedling.

My pot grown Cyclamineus have begun to open this week. They still take my breath away way more than any other Narcissus.[attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

Narcissus albimarginatus: less than 100 plants in the wild

Narcissus albimarginatus: less than 100 plants in the wild
That’s a terrifying statistic! And probably even fewer in cultivation?! :-\
-
Narcissus albimarginatus: less than 100 plants in the wild
- the more one should try to multiply those in cultivation!
-
Acis tingitana, from the same area, is also very located and with <50 mature individuals in the wild. Hopefully, it is now quite common in cultivation, at least in collection.

- seems it is around. I recieved it long ago from a friend in Eastern Germany.
Ivain - would you please let me know the citation for the scarcity mentioned above.

Gerd, This is in Conservation assessments and Red Listing of the endemic Moroccan flora (monocotyledons): Red Listing of the Moroccan Flora (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273706287_Conservation_assessments_and_Red_Listing_of_the_endemic_Moroccan_flora_monocotyledons_Red_Listing_of_the_Moroccan_Flora) by Rankou et al. 2015. There's distribution map for the moroccan endemic monocotyledones.
Nice pot of Acis, mine is growing and I hope to get seeds soon with my seedlings from the SRGC Seedex.

One more to compliment you. It's a clone form one bulb or from seeds ?
Have you some difficulties with cantabricus ? It is just fine with me, even if I 've been growing it not for a long time. I had the first flowers from seeds from V. Pilous and Rafa last year and about ten flowers this year.
With triandrus, it's a bit more complicated as I had some narcissus flies in my pot but I have quite a lot of seedlings.
-
@Maggi: I did not suspect that I caused a heart attack - sorry for that! :)
@Yvain: I cultivate N. cantabricus from different sources. Some of them tend to disappear suddenly without I realize why.
Narcissus triandrus is always very short-lived.

I adore Anne Wright's little cyclamineus hybrids. I've gotten seed from her and most of it's done well.
Anne, I'm having lust issues. Do you export to the US? Otherwise I may need to get busy with a paintbrush myself.

Yes we do! Or at least we usually do :D
