I'm sqirming with you Anne.
Rafa, so many thanks for these wonderful pictures. The little patch of is especially fine. Is it the "suicide"
daff because of its precarious habitat? like the suicide gladiolus, G. flaniganii?

Rafa I think miniature solar panels for charging mobile phones could work for cameras

I always carry spares, but last October week's holiday I took over 300 pics and didn't need to recharge the battery once. 7dayshop.com sells batteries very cheaply.

Many thanks for your coments and for battery info. When you are walking in the most difficoult, hard and wild places that I remember, you think in solar devices to not depend in convencional electric sources...
Lesley, pecisely, I have invented this name The Suicide Narcissus as a joke, comparing Narcissus with Gladiolus flanaganii as they ar also "fisuricola" plants wrowing in the most inaccesible places, like fisures in granite walls.

I know the feeling Rafa. When my daughter Lucy was born my camera had no battery and no film, both situations discovered separately, and involving separate dashes to a shop. I found this out when we were in the delivery room and the hospital shop didn't sell batteries (it did, however sell film), so I had to drive very quickly to a newsagent's half a mile down the road for batteries.

300 photos on one battery!! I must order new batteries today. My camera will go through three batteries during a full days of garden visits.

£10 for a battery compared to £30-£40 on the high street is an excellent deal for my battery

Rafa I suppose ants carry the rupicola eggs in to cracks and crevices.
I feel a SR trip to Segovia coming on after a visit to Germany

Huge apologies to all "squirmers" I see that I am the main culprit ! Just carelessness on my part
, though over thirty years with the dyslexic BD may be a contributory factor
I have adjusted all references in the new forum.
Anthony, how did Vivienne feel about having to "wait" while you fetched the batteries?
Thanks again to Rafa, the BD is drooling over these photos!

Things moved too fast for her to notice. When Lucy arrived there were a total seven people in the room,including a trainee doctor who had been one of Vivienne's pupils!

I'm about to digress, again... is "Lucy" simply "Lucy" or is this short for Lucinda or Lucille etc?

looks like Trena.
Mark, thanks for trying. I found the empty pack this morning (I knew it would come in for something!!) and it's name is Narcissus "Jenny".

just Googled 'Jenny'
http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=narcissus%20jenny&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
Looks like it should turn white. I also checked Daff Seek
http://daffseek.org/query-detail.php?value1=Jenny&lastpage=1
. Classed as a dwarf but how small/tall is it?
