Fred - A February Gold in February! That is very unusual!

[Cyril L]

Narcissus asturiensis (I assume) surprised me today, flowering on the raised bed after the storm.  It is only 10 cm tall.  This seedling appeared in my plunge 2012.  I put it outside on the raised bed and is now clumping up modestly.

Nice miniature trumpets, Anne and Cyril They are real heralds of spring because today is the First Day of Spring in solar term.

Some nice new seedlings, Anne.
The "wat x marv x candlepower" seems unlike what I would expect! (That is, if wat = watieri and marv=marvieri)
You'll be challenging Graham for the most new minis in the trade!
cheers

Annew, N. 'February Gold' is rarely blossom in February? Is this a joke? I'm too new to know.
For cons, I really like Narcissus who tepals which are at 180 ° to the trumpet as 'Wat Marv x x Candlepower'. We never see here.

Anne-my February Gold is in the January thread.It has never flowered until March before!

That's because it's actually Papa Snoz x Candlepower, I had the wrong label. Sharp eyes, Fermi!

Narcissus ‘Candlepower’ x cyclamineus  Thanks, Anne The pot diameter is 9cm.

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

I have one under this name too, perhaps from the same source, although mine is yet to flower. I see no reason why it should not be a straightforward N. romieuxii. They're all beautiful nonetheless.

The Narcissus are finally responding to the lengthening days, so I hope to have a few more flowers to show in the next few days and weeks. With the disruption of a house move, the lack of anything like a summer in 2015 and a challenging winter I'll be happy with any blooms I get.

Mine has N. bulbocodium like (long, prostrate, thick and glossy dark green) leaves but scented flower as N. romieuxii. Looking forward to your flowers, Matt.
