September 2011 Narcissi in the Southern Hemisphere

[Mini-daffs]

  Hi
Lesley, it does not look that bad!!! I have a split cup triandus hybrid that does not have a lot going for it!The possum turned up in a deciduous tree near our daffodils. I don't think it got a lot of sleep.

 Hi
Part 1.
A few apodanthe hybrids to start. I am quite pleased with them, and in particular the ones with three and four florets per stem.

  Hi
Part 2. A mixed bag.

  Hi
Part 3. A few stunning intermediates.
Did anyone notice the extra special miniature in the last photo? It was bred from our own fertile jonquilla hybrid.

  Hi
The double in the previous post is our best intermediate double. It is on a strong stem and performs well for us. We don't grow very good standard doubles but we do grow some good intermediates. It is only just a bit too big for a miniature.
This post is of one of our very different seedlings. It is a cyclamineus hybrid that is both a split cup and a double at the same time. It also has bits of an orange cup. It is just the thing for Lesley!

Vile.

She'll love that. Agreed, Gerry.

[Lesley Cox]

I'm not even looking at it.

On the other hand, can someone please identify for me, this little double which is an old one, nicely scented. A few of the inner petals are slightly paler than the others.

Looks like a lovely older form Lesley. The split shown recently looked very injured.

[Kees Green]

Those miniature yellow whites are fantastic.
I am so envious.

Hi Lesley,

looks like the 'Dubbelle Campernelle'. Narcissus x odorus plenus.

[Lesley Cox]

Do you think so? This one is only 15cms high and when I used to have the double campernelii it was about 40cms I would say. I also think this is more double, if you know what I mean. On the other hand my memory could be at fault. Thank you though, and I'll keep it in mind.

Whatever your short double is Lesley it's very nice.

Here's a clump that was originally raised as Narcissus ex lobularis however i am told it is more likely to be N.bambi .

Either way it's a great 'doer'

Cheers Dave.

Agreed - though I don't think Lesley's double is much better.  My selection for worst double is 'Rip Van Winkle - hideous.

[Lina Hesseling]

I agree about N. 'Rip van Winkle'! After a rainy day it will be flat at the ground and never come up again. I did remove them from my garden.
