Narcissus January- February 2009

[Michael J Campbell]

My Narcissus cantabricus ssp. cantabricus from a well known supplier of small bulbs are all yellow. I have ordered from a few different suppliers over the years without ever getting the true bulbs. Seed from various sources has also proved to be imposter's. Does anyone know a supplier of the true bulbs?

Michael - I had N.cantabricus 'Antiquera' from 'Rare Plants' last year. It is currently in flower & is pure white.

I will provide seeds to everybody as soon I will collect in march, from different localities.

[Michael J Campbell]

Rafa, put me on the list, please.

[Anthony Darby]

Me too, please . I would love to spend a week trecking round the hill of Segovia looking at these little beauties. Perhaps now my wife has Heidi ( our pooch) I can venture out on my own one day?

Lesley , the ones Marcus supplies are certainly pure white ,so please do not threaten to kill him, how can you even think of such a horrible act ,otherwise he will not be able to send you my bulbs of Narcissus viridiflorus .

Here is our Narcissus Nylon which we cultivate in a south facing bulb frames, protected by dutch lights throughout most of the year. Very easy & propogated vegetatively. The first image is of Narcissus cantabricus, its a relative new stock few in number & flowering for the first time.
