One of my all time favourites... Narcissus poeticus 'Green Pearl'. It appeared in nurseries here about 8-10 years ago and sadly seems to be no longer available. Was there a problem with stock?

It's a delight. :)

John, I have never seen that green poeticus ...I would certainly have remembered it! Lovely form.

It is still offered each year in the States as far as I know. (at least at K. v. Bourgondien)
Several years there was in Holland a production of app. 900 sq. m. and this year increased wit 400 m.

Luit - Good news. I will see if the suppliers here can't round some up for the fall. It really is a beauty and encourage everyone to try a few. Might even be worth growing some selfed seed which I never even considered.

Is it scented like the species?

Heather - It is fragrant as verified tonight, maybe not as much as the type but hard to tell as it may be going over.

The last narcissus this year Havera

Or 'Hawera.' Named after a very small town in Taranaki, south west coast of lower North Island, New Zealand.

Thanks for information, Lesley. It's always nice to learn something new. Sorry for misspelling.
