I remember when you told us about that planting taking place, Mark.
They don't look particularly overcrowded, so I think the poor things are just hungry.

They're dying, Maggi. It used to be solid yellow like the top end. All leaves have brown tips

Oh dear .... might still be starving - or do you think there may be a fungal infection ?

Is it really N. rupicola?
In the second picture N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus and N. x rupidulus, an impresive clump composed by 16 bi-flowered bulbs!

What a wonderful setting and what an interesting surrounding!
Are the daffs growing in/between (red) marble boulders?

What an amazing sight, thanks Rafa.
N. rupicola
is living up to it's name, with just a covering of mosses and lichens over the bulbs. When I see pics like this it makes me think I mollycoddle my bulbs too much and should treat them harder.

There's some warmth in the sun now, encouraging pots full of flower after a long winter here.
Very pleased with this elegant N. x cazorlanus that I picked up from Anne's table at Dunblane.
N. rupicola watieri seems to do very well here.

Some hybrids add to the cheerfulness.
Narcissus 'Hawera'
Narcissus 'Lemon Drops'
Narcissus x taitii / 'Queen of Spain'
An un-named Narcissus that grows in the garden here. I like the shape. Does anyone recognise the variety?

Rather too large to be the species, but it could be 'Xit' (a seedling of N.r.watieri)?

In 2004 I collected (with permission) one bulb of a yellow form of Narcissus alpestris and in 2009 managed to produce one seed by selfing it. This has now flowered and much to my delight it has turned out to be yellow as well. I was expecting that white may have been dominant but clearly not so.The parent on the right is now up to half a dozen but I am now reasonably confident of producing seed that will flower yellow from two clones.Seedling is on the left.
