Well, I can put all my bulbocodiums in one pot then!  ::)

Even better - call them all Corbularia!

I noticed this self-sown seedling in the plunge yesterday, doing strange things. It appears to be trying to produce an extra set of perianth segments.

Here is Narcissus hedraeanthus - much shorter than in last years due to a colder winter


1. Cazorla origin - from today
2. same pot in 2007
3. from a place north of Granada - usually somewhat larger flowers

Gerd - those hedraeanthus  are a real delight on a cold, grey day.

Anne could this be the beginnings of the first double bulbocodium?

Hmm, I've saved the pollen just in case. Unfortunately I stupidly picked the flower.

A few weeks ago i showed you part of our stock of Narcissus romieuxii Treble Chance that is grown in one of the bulb poly tunnels. This morning the snow had melted sufficently to lift off the dutch lights on our outside bulb frames to reveal the main stock of Treble Chance - wot a great sight. Don't suppose they would look quite the same without the protection.
