Narcissus March 2009 -

[Lesley Cox]

Gerd, your triandrus/hedraeanthus hybrid is lovely.

It certainly is a little beauty. I like the way the petals curve inward towards the cup. Just something a little different.

[Lesley Cox]

Lesley,
we'll have to introduce Marcus to Anne's list!
cheers
fermi

Let's do that.

Someone please? How do you manage to get two quotes in different parts of the same post?

Lesley, click quote on one of the posts you want to quote, highlight the quote in the reply box, right click and copy or cut, then go back to the thread and click quote on the next post you want to quote, paste the first quote into the reply box along with the second quote. Like this:

Lesley, if you mean getting two different quotes both in the blue quotes box with details of who posted them, I think you can only do that by quoting a post where someone was already quoting someone else, if you see what I mean.

Unless you cut and paste a quote into another quote? I'm going to try that and see what happens.

Actually, I think you just have to be careful to copy and paste the quote with all the details of who the author was as in "quote author= Lelsey Cox link=topi-2870...etc.

Like this? Hope that works.

[Martin Baxendale]

Done it! There you go, Lesley.

[Lesley Cox]

THanks Martyn, I'll have a go at that next time. I know Maggi sometimes quotes two different posts within the same reply, showing them in separate boxes.

How about this one then? I printed out Paddy's rhubarb recipes but the whole thread was printed, not just Paddy's post.

Also, I could save the pictures in the Old Forum (I did some to use in a talk, with the owners' permission) but I can't do so for the New Forum pics.

Some N. bulbocodium subsp. obesus that Gerd gave me some time ago (thank you again!)

[Luc Gilgemyn]

They look very much at home Rafa !

[Rafa]

two different species

 Narcissus asturiensis var villarbildensis
 N.dubius

[ashley]

Great plants Rafa.  Many thanks for such fine pics, especially from the wild.

Hybrids here:
'Segovia' left, 'Xit' right, 'Sabrosa' below
'Segovia' & 'Sabrosa', the latter with a wonderful scent of sweet violets
'Jack Snipe'

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Ashley,
Nice clump of Jack Snipe ! 

[Anthony Darby]

Rafa, looks like some lovely seed pods on the Narcissus dubius. I have two seedlings, which I hope one day will flower. I have tried bulbs, but I think I treated them wrongly so I lost them.

Here is a bulb I received last year as Narcissus pachybolbos. Well, it's not even close!

I'm posting here because my computer at home forbids me to access the forum and the SRGC web site. I've try a system restore, but no dice.

[Maggi Young]

Your imposter is cute, though, Anthony!

We are at a loss to know why Anthony's home computer is blocking  him from the site. If any of you Techno Boffins out there have an idea to help, please get in touch with me by email.

[Anthony Darby]

My brother has made some suggestions which I'll try when I get home. I've got a yifty in Art just now. Took me a while to knit my way into the Forum as the computer didn't have a Google (or any other web) icon and had to go via intranet!

Anyone know what my mistery narcissus is. You can see one of its flat leaves in one pic, and that's N. jonquila behind. The trumpet is not far off 1" in diam.
