Narcissus April 2015

[Anthony Darby]

My pot of Narcissus obsoletus is still producing flowers. Nineteen so far, and as each flower is one bulb, that's a lot of bulbs. The latest flower seems different.

Anthony, nice pot of well cultivated plants! The corona of N. obsoletus (N. miniatus) is normally olive when opening and turns to reddish orange later.

I was thinking of the creamy colour with the lemon centre.

Anthony, I understand what you mean. Unfortunately the colours mentioned are not visible well.
I also found the species with cream (and slightly orange tinted) petals in the wild.

Narcissus viridiflorus is still in bloom - the stems were just emerging when we left 2 weeks ago and I was afraid they would be over by the time we returned.
Sadly no blooms on N. obsoletus as they have been decimated by pests
cheers

My viridiflorus are not showing yet. I have a pot of bulbocodium that has been in leaf throughout the summer and is showing a flower bud at soil level. This will mean, despite my attempts to dry out the pot, it has been in leaf for well over a year.
