Narcissus 2024

<< < (4/4)

annew:
A much needed day of sunshine gave me a chance to pick some of my favourite historic cultivars from the garden. I love these graceful old daffodils.

annew:
I'm delighted that Ian Young, the Bulb Logger, Bulb Despot and all-round bulb super-hero, has consented to having one of my daffs named after him. I thought he would choose this beauty, knowing his fondness for x susannae types. Just like the man himself, the daff is tall, slim and purer than the driven snow!
One or two gleaming white bell-shaped flowers per 25cm stem, it makes a beautiful pot subject but should also do well outside.

Maggi Young:
Mercy! Now Anne has honoured Ian with a fab daff!  In spite of any supposed bias, I reckon both 'our' narcissus are fantastic. We are greatly honoured, Anne, thank you!!




Ian and Maggi in narcissus form!!

Yann:
Autumn daffodils woke up, Narcissus x perezlarae a natural hybrid between N. cavanilesii and N. serotinus.

annew:
So delicate and pretty, Yann  :)
A VERY early season for us in North Yorkshire, but it's been great to be able to work on the garden and get the clearing done before the bulbs come through for a change.
The usual suspects are in flower even earlier in the greenhouse, with the most flowers I've ever had out on Cedric Morris. Also Ian Young's white hoop Craigton Chorister in the usual pole position. Verdant Sparks also flowering well, and very potently perfumed (too much!)
