What conditions are required for fertile seed set in Narcissus? I have 600 + bulbs, 36+ varieties and one pod that actually contains seeds. Most developed pods but aborted early or were empty upon examination. It was a wet spring with warm and cool periods following a very mild, wet winter. I observed insects flying from flower to flower and even hand-pollinated some. What went wrong? Too wet? Kathy Stokmanis Northern California, Sierrra foothills, zone 8, (Sunset zone 7 but not by my observations), very hot, long dry summers, mild wet winters, no snow this year.
