Both are, or would be, welcome here! Sleet falling steadily outside, no trace of Narcissus unless somewhere under the snow that is under the sleet. But in the greenhouse, L. aloides quadricolor is also in bloom here, along with a bunch of yellow Lachenalia hybrids of unknown parentage. All very welcome. Let's hope the electric power doesn't go down..... I might have a couple extra bulbs of aloides next summer.
