I suppose I'm the first to post Narcissus pix in 2009 - so here we go :
- Narcissus bulbocodium genuinus x N. albidus ss. albidus
- What I grow as Narcissus romieuxii 'Julia Jane'
- Narcissus albidus ss albidus, just opening

Three beauties Luc, my version of 'Julia Jane' is lagging well behind yours.

Very nice Luc. The very cold weather is holding mine back.

Where are you growing them - I did not see a greenhouse in the shot of your garden in the AGS bulletin

They're grown outside for the best part of the year Arthur, I move them inside our Veranda when frost is in the air or when they start blooming, so I can admire them better
But you're right, I have no greenhouse...

Very nice Luc. What have you used behind the flowers to photograph them? It shows up the pale colours very well.

Thanks for the compliments everyone !
Anne,
I use a simple piece of greyish/black cardboard - it has even become slightly lighter over the years..

Luc, they are really lovely, I can feel another pang of wanting starting here.
How hardy are these ?

I guess most of them are quite hardy Helen. But as the BD has often written in the bulblog, they're flowering time - anytime from late November to February - is quite unfavorable to them in our climate, where they suffer from frosts, hard winds and rain, so it's more comfortable to be able to enjoy they're beauty somewhat sheltered. I have some (similar) in the garden, but depending on the weather they won't flower for another 3 or 4 weeks or so.
They also seem to favour a warm/dry summer rest, which is not all that frequent out here in the open garden.

Helen & Luc - I hate to throw cold water on the issue but, as noted bfore, we cannot even get N. bulbocodium through but a few winters. When purchased from Holland they bloom the first spring and then never flower again. They tend to peter out after a few years, especially cold snow winters knock them out too.
Perfectly fine in the greenhouse but not so easy to get plentiful buds.
