Tony & Roma - Thanks for  your comments on summer treatment of  N. rupicola subsp. watieri. Jim Archibald advises never to bake but I can't make up my mind on the best way to deal with them.  In previous years I've kept some of them completely dry but relatively cool & kept others in an open frame. It didn't seem to make any difference as regards flowering, so last summer I left them all in the open frame &  no flowers at all  this year. Too damp?

Yesterday we visited Knightshayes Court (the camera stayed behind-inadvertantly ::) ) and I was struck by the drifts of Daffs and rushed into print elsewhere with a description of drifts of Narcissus obvallaris. I was speaking with someone today who took the view that they were unlikely to be obvallaris and much more likely to be N. pseudonarcissus ssp. lobularis.

Now, this has thrown me a bit since I can find no reference to lobularis in Blanchard or in the RHS Botanical Classification. Someone put David right please!

David -  see Blanchard p192: "N. lobularis Hort = N. nanus Spach" (unlikely I presume); "N. lobularius Schultes = N. obvallaris Salisb."

Gerry, many thanks for that, I had only looked in the main index (I rarely find anything I'm looking for in the main index!!). So, they are one and the same?

Narcissus bulbocodium

From a collection by Bob & Rannveig Wallis (RRW 8832), Tahanout, High Atlas, Morocco.
The relatively large flowers open on scapes only 5-6 cm long.

That's a beauty Gerry.  Obviously you managed them very successfully through the cold period last December.

Thanks Ashley. Although  I lost a few crocus, Narcissus were unscathed despite being in an unprotected sand plunge.

Very nice Gerry.

I like "The Usurper" Luc, what's it's history?

Some of mine:-

The first three are Narcissus bulbocodium from Brian Duncan under his code SEL2847,

and the next two a pot of Narcissus obvallaris, that I got as Lobularis, that I'm bulking up for the garden.

very nice daffodils from everbody 8)

David,
why do you call your 'lobularis' 'obvallaris'?

This is the typical wild form (N. pseudonarcissus ssp. pseudonarcissus (syn. N. lobularis of trade)) from the Eifel.

Ladies & Gents!
Many thanks I expected this reply... ::)

For me N. xxx lobularis of trade (=The Lent Lily) and N. obvallaris (=The Tenby Daffodil) remain still two different species...
I support Narcissus pseudonarcissus f. lobularis (Haw.) Voss is a (obsolete) synonym of Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. pseudonarcissus

I found also in Plantago:
Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. major=
Auteurs:   (Curtis) Baker
Synoniemen:   Narcissus confusus Pugsley, Narcissus hispanicus Gouan, Narcissus major Curtis, Narcissus maximus Hort.

Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. obvallaris=
Auteurs:   (Salisb.) A.Fern.
Synoniemen:   Narcissus obvallaris Salisb., Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. lobularis

Narcissus pseudonarcissus=
Auteurs:   L.
Synoniem:   Narcissus lobularis

Confused?  ;D
