Tomorrow I will search a place where N. bulbocodium graellsii and N. bulbocodium ssp. bulbocodium live together, mabye it could be a natural cross between them..

Great shots Rafa - nothing compares to a plant in the wild !!!
And I think I saw some blue skies above the plants - so at least somebody is having nice weather.

Ann, I love your Narcissus triandrus x cyclamineus. I am too lazy to do any delibrate crossings but now seeing that lovely bulb I might plant a few of them together and see what happens.

Many thanks for your comments.
John
I hope too, your Narcissus longispathus is growing form seeds and is not a wild bulb. Eventhough to collect seeds is also prohibed as is an endangered species and is necessary an authorisation.

Rafa, I didn't know that the seed was also protected or I would have made enquiries about who was selling the bulbs. I feel very strongly about conserving plants in the wild. Hopefully I can keep the plants in good condition for the future.
Super pictures of yours. The next best thing to seeing them at first hand.
Also I enjoyed the paintings you showed us a while ago, have you any more?

Hello,
Dear John, fortunately you and several other expert plant growers have a little "hard copy" from most of our endemic Narcissus. Mabye one day it could be necessary to ask everyone who grow these species to help in conservation projects.
About paintings, I have painted several canvas, but not to this gallery. I want to start botanic plates in watercolour technique.
Best wishes

Here is a long corona form of bulbocodium from Tony G with nice green markings. In a pot I'm afraid but due to go out in to my wilderness
Rafa great pictures in the wild

'Jim Lad' is very smart....he was raised by Anne W, wasn't he? Very nice.
Can't say I've seen 'Fairy Gold' in real life.

very few people have 'Fairy Gold', evil laugh. All stock owned by Keith Lamb, the breeder/finder, have been given to Avon Bulbs where it isnt doing too well as far as I know. They offered it once a few years ago. They have not enough stock to sell
