[annew]

Just finished logging in last year’s narcissus potting into the computer. Thought it would be interesting to tot up the totals:
   No. bulbs
sp/other people’s cvs chips (ch 18)      375
sp/other people’s cvs                      3222
Own seedlings                              3847
Own seedlings chips (ch 18)              802
                                                 total   8246
 
Now to start on the snowdrops!

Anne, you sound suitably qualified to work as a minion on our 'umble farm!! Not sure you would keen on the polystyrene boxes as they are a heavier!

Is it within easy commuting distance?

I have autumn narcissi out now. It has been very wet, but temperatures still in the low 20s. First one I think is Narcissus deficiens. The others are N. obsoletus from two sources.

I have been told that this, grown from seed sent by Bill the Bulb Baron, is a cross between Narcissus 'Autumn colors' and (possibly a tetraploid) 'Paper White'.

We got this autumn flowering daffodil from Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra.
It originates from Harold Koopowitz in the States and he called it "SFR" - small, flat, round!

I'm going to lower the tone here and show some big daffs and a couple of small doubles

This patch of Narcissus 'Van Sion' and probably 'King Alfred' is flowering really well this year.  The clumps are a bit congested but no way am I going to dig up bulbs in grass.



Narcissus 'Mount Hood' never seems to get really white



This is a seedling parentage probably 'Mount Hood' or 'Empress of Ireland' x Roseworthy'.  I rather like it.  'Roseworthy is a prolific seeder.  There are so many seedlings often very similar to the parent I am not sure I could identify the real thing.



Another seedling



Narcissus 'Pencrebar' disappearing under the Daphne again.  I thought I had lost it but it reappeared when I cut back the daphne a few years ago.



Last but not least Narcissus 'Rip van Winkle'.  I was growing it in a pot and thought it looked virused so I threw away the bulbs under some larch trees which have since been felled.  A flower appeared a couple of years ago and the leaves look perfectly healthy.

Miscounted the number of pics.  Here is Narcissus 'Rip van Winkle'

Look like what Rafa calls Narcissus deficiens. Corona has three small scales rather than a tube. The tube widens slightly towards the petals. so it is not serotinus. Here's a good page to look at. http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=16048.0
