I would like to collect this year, it take 2 moths to set seeds. In my notes, it is ready October the first.
Fred, next season they should bloom?

Pat, I think when "teletransportation" will be ready it will be very useful to us to have two opportunities per year to see Narcissus and Iris blooms by changing the hemisphere  ;D

That is a real beauty Rafa and a peculiar flowering time...
Can you tell at what elevations it grow and does it receive summer rains?

This species is very hardy, the place I use to collect is  mountain range arround 1000m, limestone. The temperatures could be during winter -10º and 35º or even more 40ºC. Watering from October to June and then very few. It has british punctuality blooming: August the First, and seeds October the first. I think this year I will collect some seeds...

It could have 1, 2, 3 (maybe more in old bulbs) consecutive flowers per bulb, like Iris xiphium...
