A new year and more flowers on a surprise bulb! Narcissus romieuxii (or a hybrid of it) came as seeds in a trough from the 2010 NARGS winter study weekend in Portland. The soil was used planting mix from Jane McGary. Last year there was one flower; this year there are four with one more to open. This is a good doer.

Some more daffs in bloom now:
Sun, 08/09/2015 - 5:01amSome more daffs in bloom now:
a tazetta (8WY), possibly an old cultivar
A recent tazetta hybrid
A N.cyclamineus hybrid, 'Leslie Patrick' from Col Drewitt,
A 10 WW, raised by Rod Barwick (Glenbrook Bulb Farm, Tasmania) in his "Little Detective" series, possibly 'Kholmes' or 'Smarple'
This seedling appeared near the above but is a 10WY, and seems to be bulking up nicely,
cheers

Nice, Fermi! I'll admit to
Mon, 09/07/2015 - 9:20amNice, Fermi! I'll admit to having "daff envy". In my garden, the bulb flies wreck every bulb.

Hi Mark,
Fri, 09/18/2015 - 4:57amHi Mark,
Taztep isn't quite a dwarf, but it's not as large as some of the other Tazettas.
Claire,
you have my sympathy, I think we have the lesser Narcissus fly here but I'm hoping that the larger one hasn't made it to Australia yet!
Here are some pics from a week or so ago:
'Rapture' (6YY), a good garden daffodil and still winning prizes on the show bench
Narcissus 'Cloth of Gold', a multi-headed type than has clumped up nicely - must remember to divide it soon!
One of Graham Fleming's Keira Bulbs "Hybrid hoops"
One of Lawrence Trevanion's Apodanthe hybrids, this one is definitely a mini!
cheers
