Lovely little thing, Yann. And the daffodil too.

Gerd i only watered my autumn crocuses and colchicum, the rest of the pots is dry as desert.
Temperatures are increasing for the next 2 weeks, inside plastic pots it can seriously heat the compost...too wet, you know how it usually ends
So i'll water may be by the end of the month.

- Yes! This is my first cavanillesii - a selected form with bigger bulbs and often two flowers/stem.
I hope this will continue next year.

Interesting little daff - would fool most gardeners (and me) I was lucky to obtain some bulbs this autumn, so look forward to try growing them. Meanwhile, I covet yours

Thank you Ann & Yann!
This full splendour lasts only 2 days (of course due to the the recent temperatures).
@Yann: I am not sure that the two stems came from one bulb.

This is
Narcissus cavanillesii
var.
mauretanicus
in comparison to
N. cavanillesii
from Spain (last pic).
The variety from Morocco is slightly larger and flowers more reliably than the other one.

Gerd that's interesting to show the difference. What can explain that?
Distance between Tanger's riffs and Tarifa is so short.
Those i saw in the cap Spartel has stems 2x bigger those i grow (Cadiz region).
Does the morrocan variety is a relic and the ones from Spain evolved over time once the actual spanish corner detached from Africa?
mauretanicus has elongated bulbs and 2n=28, it's not the case for spanish bulbs but forms in Cadiz region has also 2n=28
and others farthest north has 2n=14/21.
Michael Salmon published a doc
http://dafflibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/Michael-Salmon-on-N.-cavanillesii.pdf
Since DNA analysis gave also 2n=28 for ssp humilis
Very confused

Yann,
If I recall correctly it was stated that the origin of some autumn flowering daffodils (
cavanillesii/serotinus/viridiflorus
) was North Africa probably. Because of the more extensive distribution of these autumn flowerers there I don't guess that the Moroccan variety of
cavavillenisii
is a relic.
It seems that the Spanish/Portuguese populations are outliers of the African ones.
From a growers point of view it is clearly evident that
var. mauritanicus
flowers more reliably than
var. humilis
from Spain.
I received my first bulbs of the Moroccan variety from Ian Robertson in 2011 (a pot illustrated in the report of the Autumn South AGS Show 2010) and since then they always do better than all of the Spanish forms from different sites. Perhaps the future will show that a selection from El Palmar (shown here at September 18 th) will be an exception.
I would be glad if you let me know the reference for DNA analysis 2n=28 for ssp humilis.
Gerd
