Narcissus January 2017

[annew]

So compact as always, Tatsuo. Yours is about a 10th of the height of mine 

Daff season is certainly here:

Narcissus romieuxii mesatlanticus
Narcissus bulbocodium citrinus
Narcissus 'Limey Lass ' a Brian Duncan hybrid, which is very floriferous and increases well
Narcissus 'Lemon Flare' - another from BD
Also, a side-by-side comparison of flowers from each of BD's hybrids ('Lemon Flare' left, 'Limey Lass' right)

The comparison of Lemon Flare is interesting - when you put them together like that you can see the limey tint on Limey Lass - definitely a cooler shade of yellow.

Very tall choir you've got there Anne!

They were a lot shorter when they started, the mild weather is not doing our stems many favours!

  Then, give it a short name, quick!

Working on it!

The bulb frame was awash with so many flowers from them both I was keen to get my eye in and pin down their differences. Definitely a cooler colour to Limey Lass and I think the corona of Lemon Flare is also rather more flared and slightly ruffled.

They are prolific, the pair of them.

I noticed a few Narcissus leaves a few weeks ago in my pot of Ipheion (can't remember it's current name and can't be bothered looking it up) 'Alberto Castillo'.  Spotted a bit of yellow and thought that's not 'Alberto'.

Daff season well and truly started now - great to see all the hoops posted. Tatsuo, your strange split narcissus will appeal to the lovers of 'spikey' snowdrops, it will be interesting to see if it is stable.
