Narcissus romieuxii subsp. pallidus  An odd and large flower with a mysterious name

'Pallidus' comes from the Latin 'paleo' meaning pale, wan.

Rod Barwick's sense of humour!
He released a range of hybrid hoop petticoats called his "little detectives" which alluded to fictional detectives like "Mickey Moto" which became "Mitimoto"; there is also MisS MARPLE; SherlocK HOLMES; InspectOR CLUSEAU; HerculeS POIROT;

I grow Narcissus 'Poirot' in the greenhouse. It will soon flourished. This name is in homage to Hercule Poirot. Famous detective fiction, born from the pen of Agatha Christie.

Thanks, Fred. The plant from a nursery in Jan. 2011. The bulbs usually increase 2 times or more every year.

Your Narcissus brought this to my mind Tatsuo, although the last line doesn't fit. Thank you for a bright day!

Among seedlings i've (re)found this cantabricus sown on 09/2013 sourced from Kurt.
It grows among cyclamen self-sown.

Tatsuo, this is an appealing clone with the added bonus of multiplying well.
