Narcissus February 2015

[YT]

Narcissus ‘Coo’. A wonderful hybrid between bulbocodium and cyclamineus. Thank you, Anne
Narcissus ‘Don Stead’ Another famous hybrid hoop from Craigton Road, Aberdeen
Narcissus cantabricus, JJA 699.814. A good form seedling.

[YT]

Narcissus bulbocodium var. pallidus, JJA 696.600. The first flowers from seeds
Perhaps paler one is a hybrid

It is pale though. How pale is pallida supposed to be? Nice to see Coo happy with you.

Blanchard says:

...pale to dark primrose yellow, quite variable...

Remember this is a botanical variety, not a cultivar and grown from seed. I'd say the variation your plants, Tatsuo are within the correct range.

You can see Ian Y's plants (fairly uniform in colour, so perhaps built up from one bulb/clone?) here:

So you can - wow, that Narcissus rupicola marvieri is LOVELY!

...wow, that Narcissus rupicola marvieri is LOVELY!

Quite. It's one on my wish list, but doesn't seem to come up on the lists very often

   Seed raised from wild collected seed, Matt

[Matt T]

They're lovely plants, the primrose yellow is a great colour on the wee hoops. I received seed of this variety in the seed ex this year and hope I'll eventually end up with as good a looking potful in a few years.

[YT]

Thanks, Anne and Matt. The corona edge of the paler flower is recurved and ruffled, so I thought perhaps it's a hybrid.
