Here's a photo of my Mitzy, left, and Snipe ... but maybe mine are wrong. My Mitzys came from Joe Sharman

Mitzy fades to creamy white within a few days, has a slightly flared trumpet with a flared frilly mouth

Snipe remains bi-coloured, has a straight trumpet with a slightly flared mouth

Mitzy taken today during high wind, rain and threatening snow

Lovely Roma. It's odd that this year I have lost both N. rupicola and N. rupicola ssp watieri, probably kept them too wet!

Very nice cantabricus Gerd.

Lovely Narcissus Gerd & Roma.

Roma - how do you treat N. rupicola subsp. watieri during summer dormancy?

Very nice, all. Gerd that is a lovely cantabricus. I bet it would make a nice hybrid with triandrus....

Thanks, David & Gerry.

Narcissus rupicola ssp. watieri spends the summer under the bench in the greenhouse.  I think it did not do so well in the cold frame where it did not get so warm.  It was not repotted this year and it was late before it got watered.  I broke my hip on August 1st and one of my daughters did the greenhouse watering for quite a long time.  It was a while before I was fit enough to go to the greenhouse and tell her which pots to put on top of the bench after making space so I'm not sure when we started watering them.

Narcissus alpestris - from a Mike Salmon collection.  This is a selected clone, slow to increase but worth the wait.
