Spring Narcissus 2014

[Rafa]

I like these white flowers....
Gerd, I think the 1 and 2 pot are the subsp. citrinus, and the 3 pot is the new species that we discovered. We are planning to publish.

Here some pictures from this morning in Toledo. A lilliput N. jonquilla growing in an exceptional ecological conditions for this specie, making croses with N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus. (name invented "N. x jonquidulus")

Also there were the yellow forms of N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus.

I was so excited.  Leucocoryne coquimbensis, bought from Flores and Watson, and sown in
December 2003, had a bud.

And then a bit of colour showed.  Yellow?  It was supposed to be blue.

Now, here it is.  I'd appreciate an i.d.

Narcissus bulbocodium subsp. graellsii

Rafa, what an exciting find! Delightful photos too.

[Diane Whitehead]

Thank you, Rafa.  I sowed seeds of Narcissus bulbocodium subsp. graellsii in 1997.

Maybe I gave up on it and used the pot later for the Leucocoryne seeds.

I did at first think it was poeticus but later decided on tazetta. my label has had both names!I have changed my posting thank you.

Narcissus triandrus subsp capax, in wild on St Nicolas's Island and in the Brest botanical garden.
The flower seems to be larger then other subspecies.

[Gerdk]

Vincent, thank you for these pics - must be a wonderful sight!

Gerd, I tried many times to get any material from Iles de Glenan, but it seems impossible. I am sure it is the same species, and I am sure this locality is subexpontaneous. The seeds arrived there probably in the legs of migratory birds. Ganymedes secction has its geographical origin (like most of Narcissi) in Península Iberica, this locality in Iles de Glenan has't any logic except for animals or anthropic activities.

[Karaba]

Narcissus triandrus from Iles Glenan is now named var loiseleurii by french botanists : see http://www.tela-botanica.org/bdtfx-nn-75757

It's definitively not tazetta. Maybe a bit early for a poeticus (cultivated in greenhouse ?) but looks like poeticus

Narcissus tazetta (from Montpellier area)
