And three of my seedlings:

Last one - a self sown seedling - no effort involved!

At last I can show you photos of two of Tatsuo's narcissi grown here in Yorkshire - not cushions! They have been in my 'arrivals lounge', so were partly shaded by other new arrivals. Still looking up though! Many thanks to Tatsuo for those.

The second plant, ex Tatsuo- van Tubergen, is very flat. A lovely pet.

No effort maybe, but she's lovely. There's something very reminiscent of x susannae about it. A very happy accidental.

A nice flash of green in the tube on that one.

Poul, have your N. hedraeanthus scent?

Rafa, no I can not smell any.

I agree with Matt, a lovely flower. It reminds me a little of the Wallis' 'Eira' ( though I've never seen that in the flesh). Do you know what the parentage is Anne?

Anne,

Natural selection. Very Sweet!

Thank you, Anne. I’m happy those look grow well at your place Their flower shapes look similar to mine in contrast to their height. I'm wishing for you will move both plants from your special judging room welcome lounge to breeding room.

I believe the plants in your first 2 pictures are N. cantabricus ‘clusii’. Sorry I mislabelled when I packed them.

And three of my seedlings:

Do your bright sisters of rupicola/watieri x cyclamineus hybrids have some scent?

Last one - a self sown seedling - no effort involved!

I've found another magical melting pot in Yorkshire

Here is a picture of my clones. This season isn't for them.

A nice uniform conical flower with wide mouth, Gerry

Here is a picture of my clones. This season isn't for them.

I think everyone here is wishing they could grow plants as compact as that, Tatsuo. They look good to me.

Thank you, Matt. I meant this season's flowers are worse than the last's

[Matt T]

Oh yes, I see, a lovely potful. I find cantabricus can be a bit 'fussy' with me, more so than other species - some times it takes a year off - as you know, it's just not sunny enough here.
