Narcissus October 2020

Ha! 
What should I put on the label - N. deficiens? I am seriously considering putting several labels in each pot, each with a different name. Hopefully one will be correct!

Anne, you are not alone. In my collection there are labels with serotinus ?, miniatus, obsoletus and deficiens in the end. All for the same species.
Without any doubt the split of Narcissus serotinus into two distinct species was overdue. The problems which arose then concerning the nomenclature are a mess. It reminds of the Babylonion language confusion.

This was non-flowering for two years and now pushes up a bloom before leaves.

Narcissus viridiflorus

It somehow seems very apt for Halloween.

It is a bit strange when you consider the look of most Narcissus.

Your Craigton Chorister will win the race to be first of the hoops in flower here - it is showing buds already.

Well done Yann, a rapid result!

Can anybody help with a source of bulbs or seeds of Narcissus triandrus subsp pulchellus?

[Yann]

Well done Yann, a rapid result!

Usually serotinus/obsoletus are fast grower.

The buds of Craigton Chorister are also showing here and depending on our weather in the coming weeks it could soon be singing....

Bulbocodium flowering outside in a trough on 1st Novermber. Seed collected from garden growing plants and scattered on the trough 2-3 years ago. Parents usually flower around March. Apologies for the poor quality of the photo.
