Lovely set of N. romieuxii Gerd. I think they are all beautiful, quite my favourite Narc species.


What a brilliantly eclectic range Anne. The watieri x asturiensis has to be my favourite, what beautiful form and colour, how long before that one gets in the Catalogue? The rupicola x Faco is a little cracker too. I wonder if the nivalis x triandrus will be a stargazer next year.

Gerd - many thanks for showing a fascinating & beautiful collection. Is the last one very small?

About N. cyclamineus, does somebody know where to find this species ???
I'm looking for it for many years without success,

Ashwood Nurseries were selling it at the February RHS Show. See the pots on the very corner of the table?

I love your little stargazer Anne, Hope it stays that way in coming years, something really different without being bizarre.

Gerd - this is interesting. All the photos of N. cantabricus I have seen show the style to be exserted. Yours does not show this. Last year I obtained N. cantabricus ‘Antiquera’ from ‘Rare Plants’ & this form also does not have an exserted style. The picture of N x susannae on p 87 of Blanchard shows plants in which the style is not exserted which made me wonder whether my plants are in fact the natural hybrid rather than straight N. cantabricus.

Here is a very poor picture.

Oh Rafa, I do hope that site is secret and protected. This, and the previous pics of confusus, show us how we should think of narcissi. In an untouched pristine natural setting. Thank you for showing us these. I feel privilaged to be able to share your joy in seeing them. 8) We have naturalised daffodils in the UK, but, if what I have been told is true, the origins go back to Roman times, when they carried a bulb or two to use in an emergency as a suicide 'pill', hence 'narcotic'.

It's no good, I've got to show you my favourite one so far. Narcissus triandrus x cyclamineus. This is a pot of a single clone, twin scaled 2 years ago.
