Narcissus 2010

Luc S - that's an impressive potful. Very nice.

Is that a pot of different clones, Luc? There is a lot of variation between the flowers. Very nice to see.

What you see is the result of a sowing of wild collected seed.
With W.C. seed you always have to expect a fair amount of variation - very much the same as in nature.
I can always select one particular bulb and give it a clonal name, but I prefer the variation.

A few of mine pictured today.

The first one, Narcissus romieuxii 'Prolific', I bought from the sales table at our local AGS meeting earlier in the week. This is a form I had not heard of before and I hope it is true to it's name

The second a N. romieuxii form.

David - according to Rannveig Wallis' list for Summer 2000 'Prolific' was selected & named by Kath Dryden. It is claimed that the  name is appropriate. Looks very attractive.

[David Nicholson]

Thanks all.

Gerry, thanks for that it's great to have a plant originally named by Kath, a lady I never met but had the greatest posssible respect for.

I have a nice potfull of Narcissus romieuxii 'Prolific and have no idea where I got it from. I thought the name was not genuine so I never bothered to take a pic of it. Glad to see that it is is a valid name as it is indeed prolific.

I haven't seen a flower that reflexed before. It's very unusual.

[Armin]

Anne,  I agree with you.
"Prolific" looks a bit like a satellite dish.
David, very pretty anyway.

Wondered about that myself Anne, but it was the only pot on the stand and I didn't want to miss it. Maybe the run of very dull and wet weather here caused the problem? I'll keep an eye on it next year.

Problem? What problem?

[David Nicholson]

I had never seen one so "rolled back" before and assumed it was perhaps a cultivation problem!

Here's one of Brian Duncan's raising- Narcissus bulbocodium (Moroccan form) x N. bulbocodium var. nivalis

[Oron Peri]

Thanks to a great Spanish forumist, N. dubius in bloom actually.
