 Narcissus Mitimoto

Usually one flower to a stem; perianth segments insignificant compared with the dominant corona. Small flowers resemble a 'hoop petticoat' form.
Season:
 
Glenbrook Bulb Farm
 Tasmania, Australia
 
Fl. 38-40 mm wide, facing up; petals are very narrow, acute, yellowish-white overlaid with green, spreading, plane, smooth, and separated; large ballooned-shaped cup of lemon-yellow; sweetly scented. Barwick's first bicolor bulbocodium bloomed in 1989. Unlike sibling 'Fyno', it has a vivid lemon yellow cup. Also sibling to 'Olumbo'. Blooms late winter to early spring.

Mitimoto is very nice Arnold. I must have a look and see what's happened to mine.

A couple from me today.

Narcissus 'Candlepower' This one from Anne Wright's List.
Narcissus fernandesii var. cordubensis. This one a gift from Tony Willis and collected by him from Grazelema, Southern Spain

Nice David.

The frill on the corolla is a bit different than mine.

Most of Peinsula Iberica has drought, in fat Galicia is starting to use the program against fires, but is not rare, as they replaced the original woods by Eucaliptus...

Rafa,
Thank you for your notes! No rains even in Galicia seems  to be a serious matter - I hope in the rest of 2012 will be
some more precipitation in your country - although disappearing Eucalyptus are not  bad!

You're right Arnold I've copied your cordubensis pic here, the top one of the two, and underneath another pic of mine for comparison

Whilst I'm on comparisons here's a repeat of my pic above of Candlepower and then one I took last year. This illustrates how the corona changes colour as the plant ages. This years pic shows the plant as it has just opened.

I've still got a lot of leaves, not many flowers but a lot of leaves, but I don't bother picturing them ;D

That is a big one Tatsuo. I had thought Atlas Gold was sterile too.

Tetsuo - that's very nice.

David - 'Atlas Gold' is simply a selection of N. romieuxii made by Pottertons in 1993. It's not a hybrid & is perfectly fertile.

Yes, 'Atlas Gold' is fertile for me too but all the seedlings have been approx true to colour. It's selected from the same JCA collection as 'Julia Jane' and some others.
