Narcissus 2010

[Otto Fauser]

Ray , for me Narc. viridiflorus never starts flowering before the middle of May , it increases quite nicely  -the hotter the summer ,the more prolific the flowering .

a number of narcissus out at the moment.
Narcisus nobilis
Narcissus rupicola
Narcissus cordubensis
Narcissus bulbocodium ssp citrinus
Narcissus cantabricus ssp monophyllus

[Gerry Webster]

A lovely selection Tony. Thanks for showing.

[Tony Willis]

Noticing that some of my narcissus had yellowing leaves an examination today has shown that all the tazetta and serotinus are dead, killed by the cold.

This may leave space for new plants but it is very disappointing as I have had some of them since 1986.

Narcissus rupicola subsp. watieri

[Regelian]

ooooo!  Such a pristine beauty.     

[Ragged Robin]

Lesley,this one is especially for you.

Narcissus capex plenus.

[Gerry Webster]

Thanks Michael. It's nice to know what to avoid!

[Michael J Campbell]

These two are more easy on the eye.

Narcissus bulbocodium.
Narcissus obesus X triandrus. Thanks Ann.

[Mark Griffiths]

Yikes! It looks like some CGI alien.

I'm sure someone must love it.

(that's for the capex)

  Thanks, Otto!!  

Maggi , I'm delighted to hear that the Australian bred daffodils have already adjusted to the northern hemisphere rhythm and made it onto the showbenches .

          Happy Easter to you both ,
                    Otto.

Narcissus alpestris from Cerler which is more creamy coloured than those from Casteljon de Sos (although they are variable).  It was once described as being a different species but they have all now been sunk into Narcissus pseudonarcissus ssp moschatus, until the next revision.

[Kees Green]

Hi Michael, I think that capex is interesting and not ugly at all.
It sure would make the other narcissus near it look even better though 
Nice triandus cross;
Here in Dunedin I have all my hoops starting to pop through the surface, all but citrinus and nivalis.
I hope the weather there in Scotland has settled down a bit, still getting days in mid twenties here mind you then also days like to today-low teens
Keep the pics coming, anyone have Tinkerbell, I was given some this year and would like to see some pics so I can start salivating now, thanks
