Narcissi are one of the delights of spring. Here are some that brightened the spring in Our garden@19, from the smallest…



…to the weird.

To the big and blowsy…




The next few pictures are of unknown varieties.
To seeing double. I don’t know where this one came from, it could have been among plants that came from my Great Aunt’s garden.

Have you had some lovely narcissi to admire this spring?
Beautiful pictures, so full of sun and joy.
I have had many daffodils and some Narcissus. Yours are stunning and I love the double one.

A lovely collection. I tend to like the short, non-floppy narcissus like Tete-a-tete and Jetfire. Jumblie is a new one on me and I will definitely look out for it in the autumn.

I prefer the small ones, they do seem a bit more weather proof!

These are beautiful, Brian. Ours have suffered quite badly with the weather here.

The rain and the wind eventually took its toll here on the big ones Pete.

They are all lovely. You have quite a selection! Do you find that ‘Tete a Tete’ produce new bulbs very quickly? I find mine out grow their allotted space very quickly. Amelia

We certainly have more that I have planted Amelia.

Ours just started opening this last week. ‘Jetfire,’ ‘Ice Follies’ (your #2 unnamed, I believe) and various other trumpets. So nice to see them at last!

Thank you Eliza, I will check out ‘Ice Follies’.

Oh what beauties Brian. ‘Thalia’ still remains my all time favourite. Is the garden featuring the statue of ‘Narcissus’ one of the Hanley Swan Open Gardens?

Thank you Anna, I have been really impressed with ‘Thalia’, it is still flowering now. That garden opens for the village church this weekend Anna, not for the NGS in June .

Nothing says spring like a daffodil. I do much prefer the singles. The doubles just don’t look like daffodils to me.

It is nice to have some of the smaller ones as well as the big show-offs! I like Rip van Winkle and Tete a Tete a lot, but nothing beats a big clump of the taller ones. 🙂

Yours sure are lasting late! ours are long gone.
Thalia looks better in the gardens of others than it did in the catalogues. I like anything that white, but I thought they would have very small flowers.

It is the first year I have grown Thalia Tony, I am delighted with them.
