Winter flowering Narcissus 2012 - 2013

[Luc Gilgemyn]

From the master's stable  :

Narcissus "Craigton Clanger"

and

Narcissus "Craigton Clumper"

So happy with these ! 

[Ian Y]

Nice to see them doing well Luc, mine are not in flower yet.

The flowering of the Narcissus these winter flowering Narcissus has reverted to the  timing I used to observe about 12 or 15 years ago.
I have changed nothing so it is all down to nature and our weather.

[Gail]

Narcissus viridiflorus from Cadiz - should be an autumn one but flowering now.

[Angelo Porcelli]

Narcissus tazetta italicus, a natural hybrid between N. tazetta and N. papyraceus, classic passed-along plant in Southern Italy, happily growing in my parent vineyard

Trying a new camera and lens.

Narcissus cantabricus

[Gerry Webster]

Very attractive Arnold. On my screen the style looks yellowish which leads me to wonder whether it is a hybrid?

[annew]

I think it's maybe just dusted with pollen.

[Gerry Webster]

I can clearly see pollen on the perianth but not on the style. The filaments also look yellowish.

In a public garden some narcissus are flowering now.They look  like Carlton
,just a bit smaller.Could it be some prepared bulbs that are flowering already outside?I guess they need to be replaced every year.Climate during the winter here is roughly the same as on the Cornish coast:mild but wet.

One of my Narcissus romieuxii has started blooming It's almost same as last season, by contrasts with my N. albidus var. foliosus that was posted here on 3rd Jan. that bloomed 3 weeks later than last season.

[ArnoldT]

I've have a look at later today.  It came to me as something it is definitely not.

The photo shows a N. cantabricus from wild collected seed as an example

[Gerry Webster]

Yes Luc. Very nice - that looks like the real thing!

[annew]

A very pretty form, Luc.

[LucS]

Two more types of N. cantabricus :
Narcissus cantabricus ssp. (var. ?) foliosus and Narcissus cantabricus ssp. eualbidus
