Winter Narcissus - to early 2012

[Gerry Webster]

A few in flower today: Narcissus triandrus seed collected Senales (N. t. cernuus?)
Some confusing jonquilla types. The names are as I acquired them, I would love to have confirmation or otherwise of the ID.
Gerry's N. calcicola
N. fernandesii
N. henriquesii
N. wilkomii (such a lot of leaf for the tiny flowers!)

Anne - if it helps, I had the N. calcicola directly from Mike Salmon a long time ago. Incidentally, your photo is much better than mine - I'll pinch it!

I wasn't questioning the calcicola ID, Gerry, hope it didn't sound that way. It's the last three that I wonder about.
The photos below show what we were told was N. calcicola in Portugal.

Wonderful plants Anne, beautifully grown (and photographed).

Fascinating to see the results of your various crosses.  The asturiensis x k1 C3 is one that appeals to me especially

Don't worry Anne, I have wondered myself from time to time. but I've checked it against all the descriptions & photos I could find; it does seem to have quite large flowers. N. calcicola 'Idol' is just coming into flower for the first time & the blooms are less than half the size. I'll post a photo at some point.

A nice scalloped corona on that one, Gerry.
I like that one too, Ashley.

OOps - N. wilkomii has one m.

Kew gives it as having two "L"s and two "M"s  : Narcissus willkommii (Samp.) A.Fern.
...and aslo as a  synonym of Narcissus jonquilla subsp. jonquilloides Baker.

[Gerry Webster]

So does Blanchard.

Edit: Seems to be named after Heinrich Moritz Willkomm (1821 - 1895), a German botanist.

Anne - I've had this form for several years & this is the first time it has had this shape. Very odd.

.........so Narcissus willkommii would be correct?

[annew]

Naughty Google then...I'll put the extra M back in.

Naughty Google then...I'll put the extra M back in.

...and an extra L too, Anne    willkommii
