Autumn flowering Narcissus 2013

That's an early one, David. None of mine even approaching flowering yet. Gerd, fantastic flowers!

My narcissus season of this year starts much earlier than last year I got some autumn flowering hybrids from a nursery in Japan.
This is the first flowering narcissus in my stock: Narcissus rupicola x serotinus

Welcome back Tatsuo
An interesting cross, given the very different flowering times of the parents.

Tatsuo,
that's a nice looking hybrid! Very interesting that it's flowering in autumn rather than half way between the two parents.
I wonder if Lawrence Trevanion has tried this cross?
Let us know if it's fertile.
cheers

Fine coloured hybrid - very unusual cross! Tatsuo, would you please tell us who made the cross and are there other species combinations.

I'll add 2 pics of my best autumn flowering hybrid - received from a nice Forum member.
Narcissus miniatus x tazetta from Israel. It flowers reliably - it stays compact - the bicoloured flowers are of a good size.

Hello and thank you Ashley Its flower follows the pollen parent N. serotinus as Fermi mentioned.

Fermi, yes I will tell you if this hybrid set seeds This hybrid has a slight scent.

Gerd, your autumn narcissus collection is marvellous Especially miniatus x tazetta is so cute

I obtained some narcissus hybrids from Komoriya Nursery. You can find some narcissus hybrid pictures here http://item.rakuten.co.jp/komoriya-nursery/c/0000000192/. It seems the owner of the nursery, Mr. KOMORIYA, Satoshi made those hybrids. I think his nursery is famous for its Hippeastrum breeding works.

Fascinating (and very attractive) hybrids!

Thank you, Tatsuo!
Very interesting site from Komoriya nursery - so many interesting crosses. Fortunately the names of the hybrids were mentioned in Latin.

A friend just gave me this link to a website which has possibly the most beautiful narcissus photos I've ever seen, especially those of the autumn-flowering species. Well worth a look.

I may be mistaken, but is this chap not a friend of Rafa's ? He has another great site too- if I'm right :
