Narcissus July 2016

The tazettas have been out for a while and the hoop petticoats are going strong despite the winter's cold.
The first one is a "stray" - either a misplaced bulblet or a seedling which came up in someone else's pot

The second is one of Lawrence Trevanion's raising and named after a noise made by one of his children when a baby: Gefk

2 years ago I planted 3 bulbs of Narcissus romieuxii 'Craigton Clanger' and 3 bulbs of Narcissus romieuxii 'Craigton Clumper' outdoors....dug them up today to see how they had done and "the clanger" seems to be more of a clumper than "the clumper"

I have a couple of seedlings from 'Craigton Chorister' coming up.

Narcissus 'Viristar' is  cross between the jonquil 'Hillstar' and 'Emerald Sea' from Lawrence Trevanion,

1) This little clump of hoop petticoats is supposed to be 'Tiffany' and 'Tarlatan';
2) nearby is a seedling which shows a lot of N. romieuxii influence

Another "stray" not far from a clump of 'Jessamy' so possibly a seedling of hers,

Anagrams? 

[fermi de Sousa]

Anagrams? 

No.
Apparently he used the noises/sounds made by his children when they were babies or toddlers!
