Title: Southern Hemisphere Narcissus 2014 - June
Post by: Mini-daffs on June 08, 2014, 09:44:35 AM

 ;DHi
Our season has been underway for about the last month. Our season lasts until October.
We had a wet and warm autumn. It is still fairly warm now even though we have had a few frosts in the morning.
Like always we are behind so we are just finishing replanting our bulbs. They will have short stems but will still flower.

Narcissus panizzianus flowering in a dark border under Pittosporum sp. lollipop bushes (oh how I hate them) and against a west facing fence. Seems to have survive last night's storm.

Nice to see flowering daffs while I'm sorting dormant ones.

I crossed Narcissus bulbocodium ssp graelsii with N. 'Mondieu' in 2010 and here is the first flower which opened on 19-06-2014
(apologies for the fuzzy pics!)

This is another seedling - I think! It appeared near a row of "Lemon Hoops" which are either 'Smarple' or another of Rod Barwick's hybrids, so I'm presuming it's a seedling from one of them; it's different in having more upright foliage and earlier flowers on sturdier stems,
