Here is Narcissus papyraceus [ex Morocco via Fausto Ceni]. This year I have three flowering stems.

Narcissus still looking good down here.  One or two new ones appearing.

Narcissus hedreanthus

The scent in this greenhouse is brilliant!

Just been out to the greenhouse in the drizzle to take pics of the three narcissi which are adding to my hedraeanthus ache. The first is Narcisus cantabricus from Rafa; the second is hedraeanthus from Anne while the third is my Cotswold plant (note the mouse damage) with Anne's for comparison. While the real 'Julia Jane' may stand up, the real hedraeanthus leans over. Clearly Anne's flower is the real McCoy, but what of the other? Is it cantabricus? It has a much thicker style than Rafa's cantabricus.

Anthony, super wee  N.hedraeanthus. I have managed to kill it twice but have some seedlings coming along, hopefully not more imposters as they came from the exchange.

Hello Franz, I'm not sure but it remind me Narcissus graellsii.

Anthony, Narcissus cantabricus looks happy!!

Here, first population in Castilla - León Region of Narcissus cantabricus (aparently, as they have not scent) wich my friend Teo and I discover five years ago. Excuse the bad quality of the pictures.

Wonderful! They look just like what I have as 'tananicus', or what I have seen referred to as 'tananicus of horticulture'. How wide were the flowers, Rafa?

Enjoying your narcissus pictures Rafa. It is amazing that some bulb grow in rock columns. In Ronda I meet Narcissus cuatrecasassii it grows in rock columns also. Thanks for the ID of my Narcissus.

says Rafa.... Really? I see no bad pictures! I see only the beauty of these little flowers in their native habitat, they are exquisite.

Rafa,

Again, many thanks, great photographs and, like others, I find the growing situation of the narcissus amazing.

These little bulbs are what make winter a time to be awaited with pleasure and anticipation, not dread. The cantabricus are especially beautiful and I love the Narcissus soup Tony. Surely that will mean many interesting seedlings to come?

Many thanks to all,

I hope this week I will take pictures from a huge population in Madrid, with several thousands of N. cantabricus.

Regards
