Narcissus 2010

[Gerry Webster]

Yes Ashley, the new flowers are lovely & I too like it very much. Unfortunately, it does tend to fade to a paler colour.

[Rafa]

Ashley I thinkthis plant could be the greenish lineage from Sierra de Estella, Portugal.

Thanks Rafa.  I look forward to comparing it with the collection you donated to the exchange in 2008.

Some Narcissus flowering in my bulb house.

I would appreciate confirmation of the names - or corrections 

Narcissus mesatlanticus SF 151
Narcissus bulbocodium vulgaris  WALLIS M84-26

I wouldn't like to stick my neck out there, Art.
The scent in the bulb house in the sun today was wonderful - mostly from narcissus and crocus.
Narcissus 'Joy Bishop', N. 'Yellow Pet', and N. bulbocodium paucinervis contributed their part.

[Gerry Webster]

Very nice Anne. I've never heard of 'Yellow Pet' - do you know anything about it?

[annew]

I got Yellow Pet from Kath Dryden some time ago. I just looked it up on Daffseek:
http://daffseek.org/query/query-detail.php?value1=Yellow%20Pet&lastpage=1&which=hist1
I don't know that my photo looks awfully like theirs! I'll send one to Ray Cobb, who named it, and ask him.

[Gerry Webster]

Thanks Anne. Yes, your plants do look somewhat different to those on Daffseek. But then they look different to each other(age of flower?). At least one of the Daffseek plants resembles a plant I received as the elusive  'Julia Jane'.

These are the same plants last year.

Wonderful little series Anne !!

Hallo,
The bed with Narcisssus x `Nylon` from our garden. The plants were 6 weeks under the old windows covered with cca 30 cm of snow. This weekend we took away the windows and we stayed amazing on the flowering plants of Narcissus.

They are very brave! They also look very natural. Are the leaves grass or all narcissus leaves?

[Herminarik]

Good evening,
that’s right the leaves on the picture seem like grass. We grow this cultivar in the open area in the bed with peat and there is actually any grass. But I have to say we have the problems with the other kind of the weed - this peaty soil are appropriate for Stellaria media here. Igor

Flowering now, from a bulb which seems to be growing out from under a rock, some sort of Narcissus romieuxii.

[David Nicholson]

A couple of mine from the greenhouse today.

The first is Narcissus romieuxii ssp. mesatlanticus x bulbocodium forma 'Tockwith Anne'-- one of Anne Wright's raising and surely warrenting a shorter name. The labels longer than the plant

The second a little Narcissus asturiensis.
