Narcissus viridiflora , the rare super acid flowered Narcissis
Not all Narcissus are sensationalistic or while , just as not all narcissus are spring blooming . This precious Narcissus had been on our wishlist for quite some time , and this is the first year that I have recieved a twosome blossoms . The bouquet is strong , but not as intense as the Paperwhite , which I pass off to love , the aroma of this N. viridiflorus is more clove - similar , but on a sunny day underglass , which is where one must grow this gemstone , it is quite noticible . It was how I discovered it to be in prime , since the bloom blends in with all of the other super C growing around it , I could have well miss it . Again , teetotal in summertime , moist and firm drain in the winter , nerveless greenhouse , under glass .
In North Africa in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to Turkey , to the mountains in Spain and Portugal , Narcissus go blooming in the Autumn . In these areas , the rains begin in other autumn , which triggers emergence , along with the colder temperatures . These areas are also where one find Narcissus papyraceus , the species we know as Paperwhite narcissus . Paperwhites are more technically classified as Tazetta - type to those who collect and grow Narcussus , bot most of the declivity blooming specie belong to a less known group lie with as the basket daffodils . narcissus bulbocodium is perhaps the most mutual of the basket narcissus , which all tend to grow quite short , no tall than four or five inches in height , and bloom in early spring . Thier most notable feature is thier enlarged corona discharge , the trumpet part of the flower , and the petals are much smaller , if hadly visible at all .
Narcissus cantabricus
Now , as hoop narcissi go , the specie forms are as taxonomically mumbled as one can imagine , but the blooming cycle helps me identify this one , since it is the first of the Hoop narcissi that are tender , and winter blooming , to bloom . Usually around November to Christmas . The scent is so sweet , like honey , without any of the muskyness one sometimes get with paperwhites . I know , these medulla oblongata speces are not for everyone , since first they are challenging to acquire unless one can provide the sodding condidtions , like a cold greenhouse , frost devoid with burnished sun and not too woar , during the daytime . But they sure are deserving it when one can dedicate thirty or so coinage to a turning point where they can basically be bury through the summer , except for repotting , and then watered throughout the cold winter . I love them all , and this year have add many new species to the aggregation of Narcissus that develop during the winter . quell tune up for more shots as they pass on .
