Narcissus 2013

[Tony Willis]

Agree with you Mark. N. triandus is a real beauty.
Is it a tricky one to grow Tony?

Tricky-very much so for me. It is the only one I have left from a dozen bulbs and the first time it has flowered in many years. I just do not find the dwarfs with fine leaves easy.

One of my easy ones

Narcissus alpestris a yellow form. I was given this by a farmer in Spain as the only yellow one in a field of white ones. It was growing in a tractor track. Now up to four after eight years.

Narcissus alpestris the 'ordinary white form' from the same source

[McDonough]

Both color forms are top notch (the pale yellow one is my fav), fascinating how when the basic arrangement of floral parts are held differently, that it conveys such a different spirit to the flowers; I really like the sweet nodding blooms on this one. Am I seeing things, or do those flowers resemble the bowing cow heads.

I may have to relent on dwarf Narcissi, and allow yet another plant passion take root.

You are right Mark

they are both beauties
maybe later in the year Tony has some seeds to swap
Here the Narcissus pallidiflorus is just out of flower
I will try to find a last year picture
This year most flowers where destroyed by the snow when in full bloom
