Having seen the lovely cyclamineus posted here I decided I had to get some and a lovely parcel arrived today from Twelve Nunns with 4 pots beautifully packed in hessian jackets;



I'm keeping one potful on my desk for the moment to I can enjoy it in close up while working. They have a strange musty scent.

Very nicely  presented package from Twelve  Nunns, Gail.

[Gail]

Yes, I was thinking they would may a lovely gift for someone, although in this case myself!
Thank you for rotating my photos again.

[Maggi Young]

Good point Gail - with such neat  packaging, they'd make  a lovely  gift - I think Twelve  Nunns are  well-known for that lovely  hessian covering to keep all the  soil and grit   safe.

I just HAD to change  your  photos to showing large size, Anne : I just  LOVE  these  hybrids - Ian had to make  our  own  N. x susannae plants  too - and I think they are  my  all time  favourites.

Narcissus tazetta 'Autumn Colors' from Bill Welch seed sown in 2014. Second year of flowering here in East Auckland. Third photo was the afternoon of the same day as the first two.

Anne,
Glorious variety with your triandrus x cantabricus crosses!
Difficult to choose which is best.

Narcissus moschatus [or  Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. moschatus?].

Can anyone get seed set on this?

They're all very nice, where was found cantabricus laciniatus?

Here are some of my N. cyclamineus. They are among my top 10 bulbs for the garden.



...and a pretty little cyclamineus hybrid.
