Spring flowering Narcissus 2012 - 2013
« on: February 02, 2013, 03:02:58 PM »
Ex Narcissus albidus SF110

This came from Anne Wright as one  bulb in a small batch of seedlings ex SF110. Anne suggests it may be a hybrid with a petunioid form of N. romieuxii.
It is not only very attractive but vigorous &, unlike some bulbocodiums, does not flop in low light levels.

Narcissus romieuxii ‘Atlas Gold’

This year the flowers are larger than ever & there are more of them. However, after weeks  of low light levels they are very messy -  flopping all over the place.

Thank you, all :)
And... what a lovely conservative society ::) ;D

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-\ but after 5 years I found this seedling flowering perhaps there is a market for it after all and it might be spared if someone wants it ;D

Thank you Gerry! I also noticed differences according flowering related with the provenance of
the species. The ' Cazorla type ' is best.

Interesting variation in your hedraeanthus, Gerd.
I took a few quick shots in the greenhouse this morning, I was going to bring them in for proper portraits, but there's a gale outside! They're really just to show the nice variations you can get if you hybridise things yourself.

Really nice Anne.
I assume the presence of hand & fingers is because some of them are floppy. Though none of yours seems as bad as my 'Atlas Gold' which is now prostrate.
