Narcissus 2010

[Ragged Robin]

Anne, I love your N.pallidiflorus x watieri -the texture is shown off so well in your photos 

[Ragged Robin]

I've had such difficulty trying to photograph Narcissus as a part of the image always seems to flare.  Today I tried a different setting and these are two small Narcissus just opening - Minnow smelling wonderful   

N. tazetta Minnow
N. cyclamineus Jack snipe

Those are lovely - especially against the blue sky, so natural.

Thanks for your encouragement Anne - N. cyclamineus Jack snipe are slowly spreading down the ridge of the bank with mountains and sky in background

Narcissus 'Segovia' is a really sweet little thing, one flower on my bulbs has decided to be semi-double.

I got some bulbs of Narcissus romieuxii and tried them outside. It successfully survived winter under snow and now the first one is flowering with two more to follow. As I'm new to this type of narcissi, could pundits confirm the name. Shall I keep it completely dry in summer?

Gail, what a perfect way to show these gorgeous little N. 'Sergovia' in a cute basket on the wall - the double in CU is dreamy - are those strawberry leaves

Yes, strawberry 'Marshmallow' - very good flavour but as the basket is close to the front door the strawberries don't last long!

Certainly this little cutie is N. romieuxii, Oleg.

Oleg - I agree with Maggi.  I keep my plants completely dry & warm during the summer.

Thanks, Maggi and Gerry. Have you ever tried it outside?

[Gerry Webster]

Thanks, Maggi and Gerry. Have you ever tried it outside?

Oleg - no, never; difficult to keep dry in summer.

Thank you for answering, Gerry. So I'll do the same as with many frits, digging them up to store in dry warm sand for summer.
