First autumn flowering Narcissus here for this year - Narcissus obsoletus

Lovely picture Hans of a very graceful species.

Lovely Hans. Are they growing in similar conditions to the arils or are they pot grown?

[Hans A.]

Thanks Gail and Pat,
yes they can be grown in same conditions as Oncos, but best sites with highest density of plants are in ditches next to roads where water is hold several days after a rainfall - do not try this with an Onco.

Thanks Hans I have somewhere in mind when I get seed.

A glorious clump, Hans !!!!  Awesome ! 

[arillady]

Such a distinctive and beautiful Narcissus - especially so in large numbers.

Wonderful Hans. But there are any autumn flowering daffodils are hardy in Central Europe (perhaps in an unheated greenhouse)?

What a wonderful sight! - what a difference to those inside my greenhouse (not in flower at
the moment). I can't hardly resent to throw my small, always splitting and shy flowering bulbs
away!

Thanks for all the kind coments Diane, Luc, Pat and Gerd!

Diane, sorry I did not check it - have to much trouble in the garden actually - tomorrow I will try to smell them...
ebbie - I have doubts about cultivation of this species in an unheated greenhouse in Central Europe - here they hardly ever get temperatures below 0ºC - as I know they are also difficult to get to flower there.
Gerd!!! Please keep them, you are a master in growing them, do not know any better grower of this kind of Narcissus in Germany!

Hans, that is so extraordinary!
I bet you can't wait for next year
I'm very jealous and envious - we have no hope of getting this one into the country unless someone re-creates the cross and sends us fresh seed! Or unless one of the big bulb companies here decides to import it as bulbs; it's very sad that Marcus Harvey no longer is importing bulbs like this!
cheers

A fantastic sight, Hans!

[Hans A.]

Thanks a lot Fermi and Anne!
Unfortunately Narcissus cavanillesii does not like my garden whyever - I lost it here...
Yes, I already wait for next year.
