Narcissus March 2015

Definitely looks dodgy.
One of my Bowles Early Sulphur deserves an A+ for effort.

I always thought this subspecies was paler than the pure species, but mine (new since last year) is just as intense yellow as the species...nice none the less:

Narcissus hedraeanthus subsp. luteolentus

I have that yellow form as well, Wim.

Here is another beautiful little narcissus I got from Anne, narcissus varduliensis. I really like the pale pointed petals at the back and the darker trumpet.

Some narcissus in the garden

Narcissus pseudonarcissus
Narcissus tazetta
Narcissus assoanus

[Karaba]

As my Narcissus assoanus are now blooming, I can compare with my unnamed narcissus.
On the left, unnanmed, on the right Narcissus assoanus : are they from the same species ?

[WimB]

I have that yellow form as well, Wim.

Ah, I see...it's not the colour which is the determinating factor for this subspecies.

Eek!

Eek, indeed! Not much chance of cross-contamination there, eh?

I think I might try the food-processor...

Narcissus rupicola grown from SRGC seed.  Wild collected by Rafa (as N. triandrus).  Not surprising when you see them growing together in the wild in Rafa's photos.

Narcissus rupicola x jacetanus - one of Anne's babies

A bunch of sunshine - Narcissus 'Van Sion' or Telomonius Plenus' or whatever its name is today.

I have a whole rash of little seedlings coming out from F2 crosses of N. rupicola watieri x rupicola marvieri.

All are beauties

This shows how the corona of Narcissus obsoletus changes from day 1 (back) to day 3.

That Dutch nursery owner chops her bulbs in to 6 in November!! and plants them out in the field. No removal of tunics, dipping in meths or fungicide. It works.
