I'm always impressed by the quality of these autumn daffs posted to the Forum! To me they are as exciting as any of the spring flowers. The fact that they look so unlike other daffs and flower at the other end of the season makes them even more interesting.

Fermi, I find these autumn daffs (and almost all other autumn bulbs!) exciting too. The fact that they need a little extra care to flower gives even more satisfaction when you finally see them flowering.

Here is my very first Narcissus cavanillesii flower. Flower stem is 12 cm and the flower is 2.5 cm wide.

Does N. viridiflorus produce leaves with flowers?

Arnold
Apparently it doesn't need to as the flower stem can photosynthesize!

Thank you Poul!
Your elegans flower is of a much better shape than mines - pics will follow
when open.
Gerd


These are the strange inward curved flowers of my Narcissus elegans (no. 1).
I don't know the reason for this phenomenon which occurs with all plants of the
genus here regardless of their origin. Any suggestions to prevent this are welcome!
No. 2 and 3 are N. serotinus s. str. from Morón/Spain and the last pic
is N. miniatus from Mochos/Crete - a gift from a nice donor.

Superb, Gerd!
I must say, I find the twisted petals rather charming  :)

These autumn daffs have a reputation of being shy flowering!
Certainly not in the hands of Gerd 8) 8) 8)

Well done

I have N. viridiflorus about to flower.

The scent has been described as 'pleasant'.  Anyone have a more descriptive comment on it's scent.

Thank you too, Poul!

You reminded me to describe my latest ' warming ' - method. Will do this after
the rest of the species will flower.
Narcissus x perezlarae are poor this season.

Very nice Arnold. Is it it's first flowering for you?
