Gerry very nice it obviously likes you.

Mine are now flowering

Narcissus alpestris the yellow form

Narcissus alpestris ,the lower altitude one from near Casteljon de Sos which has narrower trumpets than the one I have shown earlier from Cerler

[Gerry Webster]

Gerry very nice it obviously likes you.

I hope so Tony. The feeling is mutual & I hope for a long-term relationship.

I love the very freestyle petals on the yellow form.

Narcissus bulbocodium tenuifolius x triandrus

[annew]

The latter doing better than mine, David!

[David Nicholson]

In general terms my bulbocodium types and trumpets have done well this year whereas the romieuxii types were diabolical.

Narcissus bulbocodium tenuifolius x triandrus

That's a lovely one David

These bulbocodium x triandrus hybids are very special I think.  Years ago I bought a x cazorlanus which turned out to be heavily virussed.  Not having the heart to bin it I planted it well away from the rest, where it continues to multiply gently.  However I must look out for clean stock.

Narcissus bulbocodium   

Received from Monocot several years ago as N. obesus (MS451). I’ve been suspicious of its identity for some time - the corona never seemed right - though this scalloping only appeared two years  ago. Very odd.

But pretty.

I agree. I think you got a better plant than you expected.

I agree. I think you got a better plant than you expected.

Yes but, pedant that I am, I would like to know what it is.

[David Nicholson]

Lovely form Gerry. Maybe it would be worth trying Kurt Vickery to see if he can place it within the former Monocot collection.

Thanks David - Kurt & I are in contact. He describes it as "atypical" (for MS 451); perhaps a hybrid.
