Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Lesley Cox]

Since some years there show up some double mutants in Narcissus Tete a Tete:  

Narcissus Tete a Tete dubbele mutant 1                
Narcissus Tete a Tete dubbele mutant 2  

Oh, how absolutely glor beastly.

'Jeannine,' on the other hand is a delight.

This week we saw 120 Narcissus of the famous Connoisseur Collection on the tables.

and finally one for our friends in Devon 
Narcissus Torcross 

Always nice to see a plant named after a place visited in the past

Beautiful as always, Luit.

And I like the doubles, well most of them anyway.  I like the idea of a double tete-a-tete, given a double of miniature size like that.  Jeanine is beautiful, but so are a lot of the others.

Thanks again for taking the time to post the pics, particularly with the system on a go slow.

I am so enjoying the photos ofnarcissus from the C.Collection- the more so because I can actually enjoy the wonderful fragrance of narcissus as I view the pictures.
Has Fred finally got that elusive scent button fixed to the forum?  
No: a friend brought me a huge bunch of Narcissus 'Erlicheer'  and their fragrance is filling the house!
It adds a marvelous dimension to the viewing.

Interesting how different scents can appear to different people.  I once grew Narcissus 'Erlicheer' and thought the scent was horrible.  I don't like the scent of paperwhites and other strongly scented tazettas either.

Wonderful narcissus, Luit! Thanks for showing those beauties, I very enjoy this topic.
Luit, I wonder for the name of bi-colour narcissus (white with yellow tube), the first from the left in the group picture. A nice variety.

Zhirair that must be Narcissus Jolly Roger. I like those bicoloured forms very much too.

[Lvandelft]

Oh, I should have added in my original text that this is about just 5 % of the total collection!

Narcissus Torcross

Looks a lot prettier than the place does Luit   This was raised by Brian Duncan.

Of all those shown above, my favourite is N. poeticus praecox. Simple, clean and very elegant.

[Lvandelft]

Lesley I think that if we could walk together through this collection and with a lot of flowers we might probably have the same taste

Next week there is a Narcissus competition again at the show. Do you mean I can leave my camera at home then??

[David Nicholson]

Luit, don't you dare!
