Bill Dijk paid me a visit and kindly gave me this lovely little Narcissus panizzianus. 8) It is quite dwarf.

I must reciprocate when her indoors arrives back. Bill was dropping his daughter off at the airport and popped in. Great to have a chat, some coffee, some pieces of chocolate brownie with M&Ms made by Lucy the night before and a bowl of soup. ;D

Yes, Anne, you have that right... there's often a clue, huh?  Can't think of many visitors who wouldn't like that sort of visit.

The last time he came I had some seed I could share! This time I definitely came off better - as well as the narcissus I got a lovely pot of Lachenalia pendula and some blue flowered 'crocus', from "the King". ;D

Don't exaggerate now Anthony, just a few bits and pieces to help you start and build up your collection of bulbs.
Yes, I also have an alternative reason/motif for the bribery as well  ;D: I am after or share some more of the seed he will get in the near future.
I enjoyed the chat, the chocolate brownies and the very nice bowl of soup for lunch (well most of the soup)
Tell the forum about Heidy the dog and her antics on the couch  ;D ;D
BTW: the pot of the so called blue crocus are really Iris reticulata Harmony I think.

Sorry, you're quite right, I was thinking in terms of the common crocus, instead of Tecophilaea cyanocrocus , and thought I had given you a pot full of Iris riticulata's.
Senior moment  ;D :-[

At that price it would be my last.

If it is Narcissus you want I am sure there are other more reasonable sources for the majority of the Narcissus noted on the list.

Could not remember the name of Anne's nursery, or I would have added it as a good source.

I must be sitting on a small fortune as I have lots of obesus  :) ;D :)
