Narcissus 'Mite' coming out today.   Reminds me I had one called 'Englander' which I once got from P&M, a lovely thing and wonder where it got to?

Who lists Cedric Morris?,I can't find it on any lists.

Beth Chatto lists Cedric Morris. Google Beth Chatto and you'll find the website.

I had mine from Beth in 1993 and it did well for me for a few years, then I lifted it a couple of times to give a bulb away and from there it dwindled and died very quickly. Doubt if it's in NZ now. :'(

Rob, yours looks like the true 'Julia Jane,' out for a few days and well rolled back. Beautiful though she is, `Atlas Gold' has better, weather-proof texture.

My hoop petticoats are coming into their own now too. The main display today was from N. romieuxii var mesatlanticus. It bothers me that what I have as this species is later and yellower than Ian's shown on the bulb log. Perhaps they are just different clones. John Blanchard's book does say they can be white to pale yellow. Any input would be welcome.

My Narcissus viridiflorus flower has still not opened. This brings into play some interesting possibilities for crosses. :)

So good that I don't think I'd be too worried about the name, just grateful for the display.

Thanks Otto, I'll do that. I hadn't thought of Marcus as a source.

Let me know if you lose weight. If so, I'll be right over for the "cure,"

Lesley - I think you'd be bothered if you bought it from me and it turned out not to be correct.
