A seedling from the very large hoop, 'Mondieu'.

Hi Anne I've been moly coddling it in the greenhouse, I wonder if the heat from my heater spurred it on? I really like the Mondieu hoop.

[Yann]

Anne, i'll say in my mother tongue : Oh mon dieu! Lovely

Receptacle seed Narcissus viridiflora

[Maggi Young]

There is some  mould beginning on the old flower, cFred - I would carefully remove it to stop the pod being infected.

[Cfred72]

Can I cut flush with the pod?

[Maggi Young]

Can I cut flush with the pod?

Not  completely flush - leave about  5mm in front of the pod.

Receptacle seed Narcissus viridiflora

It looks like you might!

[Cfred72]

It would be nice ...
I'll have another flowering Narcissus viridiflora (say 'viridiflora' or 'viridiflorus?). There appears to be strong offset from the time it is supposed to bloom.

The mold is cut with colorette.

[Maggi Young]

Yes, Narcissus viridiflorus 

[Anthony Darby]

Narcissus viridiflorus flowers well and produces many offsets for me. Started with 2 in 2011, gave half a dozen away last year, and still have over a dozen left! Only ever got one seed!

Nice Philip. My clump has been flattened by the gales.
