Autumn Flowering Narcissus 2014

[ruben]

Which autumn flowering narcissus are good growers for the garden in open ground? (in Belgium, same climat as UK)

[pehe]

I grow with success Narcissus Cedric Morris and some from the N. romieuxii /cantabricus family in a sheltered place in my garden in Denmark. They flower every year. A romieuxii hybrid has just shown the flower buds. Cedric Morris is just visible above ground.

The others like serotinus, miniatus(obsoletus), elegans need a dry hot summer rest to flower and are not suitable for the garden.

Hi Johnstephen. I see too much "green stuff" in your yard.
Tear it out and make more flower beds.

I've just come back from Spain where I found some lovely autumn flowering bulbs, Colchicum, Scilla and Leucojum and also what I really wanted to see,  Narcissus.

Would anyone care to let me know which species this is ?  The stem has up to five flowers and it is fragrant. I think either N. serotinus or N. elegans but neither descriptions  from the Blamey and Grey Wilson 'Mediterranean Wild Flowers' book fit it exactly.

Looks like Narcissus miniatus?

Beautiful wild narcissus flowers, Jo


Here is Narcissus 'Sweet Claudia', bred by Komoriya Nursery in Japan. Parentage is N. viridiflorus x N. serotinus. Smell (I cannot say it as 'fragrance') is milder than viridiflorus.

Quite elegant.
