Last post by Carlos - January 10, 2025, 01:12:39 AMI am definitely in love with Narcissus peroccidentalis:
And I was surprised to find Hyacinthoides aristidis (not aristidEs) in bloom, as I though that I had swapped them:

Bulb and Seed Exchanges / Re: EU joint bulb order
Last post by Martin Bohnet - January 08, 2025, 08:00:24 AMSmall update: we've already reached the minimum volume for the complete order, so this will not be cancelled due to low demand. Of course, more participants will make things cheaper for all of us especially due to the per species minimum order, so please join in!

I finally got one clone/ accession of this Moroccan plant, which is very distinct, byt whose correct name is rather obscure.
I wasn't thinking of starting a discussion on names so ewarly in the year... but it's me and there's a whole year ahead!
I got this as Narcissus albidus occidentalis from Imouzzer des Ida Outanane NE of Agadir, in the Antiatlas muntains (Salmon & Fillan 270) BUT
Narcissus albidus is an illegitimate synonym of N. moschatus; illegitimate because there was an earlier name, N. x albidus, which is in turn a later synonym of N. x incomparabilis (poeticus x pseudonarcissus).
OK, then Kew (POWO) gives Narcissus albicans (Haw.) Spreng as the correct name [Corbularia albicans Haworth] BUT
Haworth said that he got this plant from a Dutch seller as "Trompet Marin" or "sea trumpet", and that it was what John Parkinson called in 1625 Pseudonarcissus juncifolius albus. Parkinson said that it grew "in the Pyrenees", and the only similar plant that grows there (in the NW end and adjacent Spanish and French Basque Country) is what is now known as Narcissus bulbocodium subsp citrinus.

So how to call this plant? The Spanish botanist Fernández Casas either knew about the previous names or he just wanted to keep on naming species, and he published Narcissus peroccidentalis in 1996 (tyoe from Col du Kerdous or Kerdous pass, also near Agadir).
So yes, at last, I got real Narcissus peroccidentalis. I will now proceed to compare it with its evident (for me and some more) relative Narcissus grandae from central-SW Spain.

Bulb and Seed Exchanges / EU joint bulb order
Last post by Uli - January 07, 2025, 03:30:03 AMDear members living in the EU,
We are organizing a joint bulb order with Antoine Hoog who runs a small specialist bulb nursery in France. Dispatch of the bulbs would be in late summer.
Unfortunately only members with a mailing address in an EU country can participate and also, everyone must be up to date with their membership status for 2025.
We have set a deadline for orders which is Sunday, January 12th at 24:00h Central European Time. Some items will be in short supply.
If you are interested, please email me privately, not through this forum and I will send you the price list and ordering details. My email: johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de
Martin has again agreed to handle the order which is a non profit service to the membership.
Bye for now
