Narcissus ID
« on: May 05, 2008, 05:16:25 PM »
I'm suffering from lost labelitis. Could anyone have a stab at naming these two Narcissus please. The first has thin, rounded leaves about 18 inches high a couple of inches higher than the flower head. The petals and the little trumpet are the same yellow, and a good scent.

The second has leaves thicker than the previous plant with lemon petals and yellow trumpet.

Hi David,
I'm having the same trouble with the second of your narcissus. It could be one of many similar jonquilla.
Try Daffseek and have a look at 'Clare','Bebop, et al.

Can't help with the first one though, handsome though it is.

I'm sure a forumist out there can help.

David, the first one is obviously a N. jonquilla, and probably N. Baby Moon, because it is more likely you could acquire this easier than the real N. jonquilla.
I noticed that Daff Seek and RHS put many hybrids with N. jonquilla all together in N. jonquilla.
Here the two pictures.

Thanks Luit. Having looked on Daffseek I think my first one is Sun Disc.

I was not sure David, but here it is for you to compare.
Isn't it beautiful when posting is so quick?  :D :D :D

Thanks Luit, I think that is the one. Forum is very normal tonight-so far!
