New year new flowers Narcissus albidus SF.110 x Atlas Gold
This is my pot of Narcissus romieuxii which always comes into flower around Christmas. It's never been all that floriferous, with maybe 1-3 flowers in the whole pot of some 20+ bulbs by now, but last year I tried the suggestion of giving the dormant pot a really good baking, close up under the glass in full sun, and it's done far better now for that!
I'm finding that my hoops are flowering exceptionally well this year too - thank you to last year's hot summer!We have a feast of beautiful hoop petticoat daffs out at present.
Nice pots Tatsuo and Anne. I'm impressed by how many flowers per pot you have !Tatuso : is it not a Narcissus romieuxii ? Or maybe pallidus is an hybrid between romieuxii and a moroccan bulbocodium subspecies ? Pictures of this variety by Ian (http://www.srgc.org.uk/bulblog/log2004/200304/log.html) don't show such a petunoides form. Finally, googling with SBL237, I found some reference from Monocots nursery labelling SBL237 as Narcissus romieuxii ssp. romieuxii var pallidus : http://dafflibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/Monocot-Nursery-2003.pdf
But I usually use the name on the label when I received. I think it's the simplest way to avoid confusing between the other SRGC members who got the same seeds from 2014-2015 SeedEx.
Using synonyms, you think to walk on a circle but you don't come back at the same place ....
Nice pots Tatsuo and Anne. I'm impressed by how many flowers per pot you have !Neverthless, can I ask how sure you are about the traceability of your bulbs ?Anne, your N. romanensis looks very white and so closed to N. cantabricus. Pictures of this hybrid by Rafa ( https://daffnet.org/2016/02/some-narcissus-from-toledo-spain/ ) show some pale yellow flowers. I don't even know how to differenciate some bulbocodium graellsi from romanensis except than one should make some big population and the other should be isolate close to at least one parent ?Tatuso : is it not a Narcissus romieuxii ?
