Narcissus April 2017

[Matt T]

No.  I wasn't in Holland on Sunday.  These fields of narcissus are in Scotland, between Fettercairn and Laurencekirk.

What a fantastic sight, Roma!
I also very much like your Red Hackle. Lovely pics and even better in the 'flesh' when you brought it at Nairn last year.

Short Droopy white daffodil in a peat bed sort of opened today.
Narcissus alpestris 

[Giles]

I think these were a subspecies of poeticus.....
Anyone going to the daffodil show tomorrow?

[Maggi Young]

These Narcissus were raised from AGS Seedex 2011 (#336C - wild collected)  as N. miniatus. 6 were planted in this bed and it looks like all will flower this autumn.
I had re-labelled them as N. obsoletus but after Jamus' comment about his, I wonder what it should be called?
cheers

Diane has sent me some more info: "seed collected at Coripe, Sevilla, Spain....The name has now gone into N. obsoletus, but Rafa might be able to give you more information on this population."
Here are a few more pics
