Beautiful 'W P Milner' David; a favourite of mine.
Unfortunately here it produces abundant leaves but only the odd flower (1 this year :'().
Is there a secret?

If there's a secret Ashley I don't have it I'm afraid. W P Milner is in my same boat as moschatus-buy it-grow it loose it; buy it-grow it-loose it ad infinitum. The potful I posted  I bought last year and confidently expect to need to buy more later this year.

fantastic narcissus!
In my oppinion there are two bulbocodiums in Avila (apart N. cantabricus): subsp. nivalis and subsp. graellsii and the hybrid N. x carpetanus. Both species grow in similar places, maybe N. nivalis prefers higher altitudes...

in this particular placer there still are some subsp. nivalis blooming and many subsp. graellsii, this is the places where you can find N. x neocarpetanus, in the last picture.

A field of narcissus is a beautiful thing but a field of narcissus and romuleas with the lovely Althea is even more wonderful!  8) 8)

Thank you Maggy, by the way, it is Romulea bulbocodium and Narcissus confusus the species that grows together with subsp. nivalis and subsp. graellsii an image very usual in Guadarrama and Gredos mountain ranges

It looks like heaven. With your knowledge and Althea's nose - you make a great team!

Hello friends. Can you give any info on Narcissus Queen Anne?  I received this from
one of you a few years ago and it has now bloomed.  I find no reference
in a search on here. Thanks

Hello John, I've moved your query to the narcissus thread  ;)

Thi is a very old variety- called Queen Anne's double, or N. eystettensis and there are other names too .... see this Daffseek page:

http://daffseek.org/query/query-detail.php?value1=Eystettensis&lastpage=1

( mind you, this page suggests that the seed parent of ths plant might be N. triandrus , which seems crazy to me!)

I think we have discussed the history of this old flower before-  searching now.......
Here are some links, but I think our major discussion of it was in the old (lost ) forum

Crazy weather! It's been around 2oC for months here, then last week milder, yesterday mild windy and very wet, today glorious sunshine and 24oC! The clump of N. 'Paperwhite' I have flowering outdoors is doing well, and N. 'Avalanche' next to them has now come into flower.

Last week had the heaters on in the greenhouses. Today the shading went on.
