Autumn flowering narcissus (NH)

[Gerdk]

Not only the narcissus but also the peoples in Europe grow generally taller than here

Nice group of miniatus !

I guess it is the immense amount of rain which is the reason for this phenomenon - after this year we will reach the 2 m mark

Somewhat surprised to find that 'Avalanche' has decided to flower now - I think it was flowering in March...

Narcissus 'Lima's Shooting Stars'.

You've got a opportunity to pollinate its fresh pollen with early flowering daffs, Gail!

Narcissus 'Lima's Shooting Stars'.

It looks the flower has just opened. Is the flower fading whiter and getting less yellowish now, John?

The flower stalks are getting taller than usual because of dull weather But I found a seedling with wide and flat petalled flower

Narcissus miniatus, JJA 702.259. Turkey, Içel, E of Akdere. 185m. Open areas among Quercus coccifera scrub on limestone. R. & R. Wallis 08-122.
The forcast says dull, humid and lower temperature days will continue more than a week here It's very unusual for this time of year.

Tatsuo - small is beautiful of course but tall can be nice too !

Both hybrids look perfect
Are these fertile, Gerd?

Flowering today in a windy Northern Ireland. Been outside all year. Bulbocodium of some sort but foliage is strap like and prostrate.

[Maggi Young]

Narcissus bulbocodium -of some sort!

Tatsuo,
To be honest - I do not know. At least N. x perezlarae is infertile according the present literature. With both species
I never had seeds. It is difficult to test because due to our climatic conditions here the developement of the capsules usually stops
when it gets too cold.

Hi Dave,
amazingly on the other side of the world we have a very late Narcissus bulbocodium in flower which looks similar to your early one!
I posted a pic on the Southern Hemisphere threadhttp://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=15773.new#new

Thank you for your detailed reply, Gerd May be I can test their seed/pollen fertility at my place

Narcissus viridiflorus, MS.500, Spain, Sancti Petri. Its flowers are very difficult to take pictures for me
The bulbs were from Kurt Vickery in 2016.

-- That's a good idea - I'll send you a pm concerning that!

+ pretty viridiflorus and a good photo too!
