Narcissus October 2015 in the Northern Hemisphere
« on: October 03, 2015, 12:54:32 AM »
After a stormy night, yesterday was sunny and the temperature jumped up to 30°C here. I checked my outside bench and spot Narcissus ‘Craigton Chorister’ just pushed its leaves through the soil :) I’m really looking forward to seeing its first flowers here because it didn’t flower by jet lag or something last season. It’s the earliest petticoat daffs showing its leaves in my collection.

Lovely flowers. I'm hoping my malacitanus will flower here in 6 months. I have two pots, including one labelled "multiflowered". I don't have cavanillesii yet, but obsoletus is doing very well, and has flowered for two years.

Have made a note, Dave!   Have also reminded Ian that he hasn't registered Craigton Chorister yet!
