Final flower

It has been an idyllic spring here with mild temperatures and regular rain. This has made the last flower very late indeed: – a species poeticus grown from seed from Steve Vinisky. It is very much later that all the other daffodils here.

Poeticus

It is the Canberra Hort. Society’s Rose Show this weekend so I will enter the flower even though it has been a little bit nibbled. This will mean in-season daffodils have been entered in all 4 shows this year – a circumstance that is unlikely to occur very often.
