They look great, Luc, but I think I would need to guard them against slugs all night if I tried them outside.

Thanks Ann - they're on a raised bed and so far (touching wood now !) I've never had any noticable slug damage on them. Maybe our continental slugs enjoy a longer winter sleep than yours
(even in this "warm" winter)

Hello everyone, I have been admiring all of these wonderful narcissus species. This is my favourite - cyclamineus in one of my sinks.

Beautiful, but not so easy to grow. However you seem to have found the knack!

Thanks Anne. I've had this bulb in a few different places believe it or not but this is the first year it has produced 2 flowers so it is obviously happy. I love it.

My bulbocodiums starting to flower again, 4 years later. Hurrah for balconies that the sun actually shines on in the winter!

Here are a couple of narcissi giving me pleasure just now. The first is N. eugeniae, a large flower about 5cm across the petals on a 12 cm stalk.
The second is one of my crosses, triandrus x cyclamineus.

N. eugeniae
is a real charmer, Anne but your own babies are stunning, I love them. That Blue Peter moment, of one you made earlier, is hard to beat ,isn't it?
edit after Tony's post: re
N. eugeniae
the yellow form has wider leaves, does it not? I thought this might be a particular collection of this pale beauty.??

Anne - is N Eugeniae always so pale? What I have labelled as this is similar in shape but standard yellow. I like yours, it seems almost white, like the pale colour of N alpestris. Like Maggi I admire your hybrids, one day I'll get around to trying to make some crosses ... one day!

John Blanchard's book gives N eugeniae as 'medium yellow to pale straw, with a much darker yellow trumpet', so it would seem that mine is different. I'll check on the leaves when I brave the rain later on!

Anne, both of your Narcissi are lovely.
Here are a couple of mine to cheer us on a very dismal day in Blackpool.
N. cyclamineus, possibly my favourite daff.
Narcissus longispathus collected, so the label said from Gazelema Spain and bought at an AGS meeting. I hope that it meant that the seed was collected and not the bulbs but I couldn't find the vendor to check.
It is about 10cm tall at its first flowering for me but perhaps it will be taller in subsequent years as it grows a larger bulb.
