Narcissus March 2016

Spent the summer baking in the greenhouse.

Narcissus Mitimoto

Anyone how do Narcissus pallidiflorus and N. pallidiflorus praecox compare or differ? I think my N p. praecox may be wrong

[johnralphcarpenter]

From the name, you would expect praecox to be earlier.

But it's utterly gorgeous, whatever it is.

From Brian Duncan, his label simply said 'a little trumpet seedling'

Great little narcissus David

[Tristan_He]

Narcissus cyclamineus.

This form is from Aberconwy Nursery. It's always about 2 weeks earlier and has noticeably flared trumpets. It's a good doer in the garden and increases well by seed:





This form is from Crug Farm. Later and does not increase much. Also note the trumpets hardly flare:

The one without the flare is the Galician form. They seem to be doing well in your garden.
