A week or so ago, I posted a photo of the first floret to open on a seedling which Harold Koopowitz sent me in 2008. The cross is N. tazetta aureus x N. miniatus. There are 3 clones in the pot, and the first to open shows more yellow on opening, and grows taller than the other two. There are multiple blooms per stem, and 3 stems from the first clone. And it’s fragrant. Thanks, Harold, for sharing the bulbs.

Mary Lou:
You are ahead in season compared to my garden this year. 2012 has had an exceptionally hot summer and the autumn flowers are just starting now. I have N. cavanilessii and N. serotinus in bloom with the buds of some N. miniatus starting to show.

Harold,
It was very hot and dry here this summer as well. I began watering on Sept. 6, while you were in New Zealand. I suspect that’s why I may be a bit ahead of you.
