Hi all, Jim W., I got three bulbs of N. calciola from Jane last Fall and planted them outdoors in my raised-bed rock garden. There is green Narcissus foliage coming up where the labels shows that those were planted! We had pretty close to a standard zone 5 winter here, with somewhat more snow than usual. I'll let you know if these bloom. Also coming up in the same rock garden are NN. assoanus (two different accessions) N. rupicola, N. wilkommii, lots of N. fernandesii, and a straggler of N. henriquesii. No flower buds yet on these narcissi.
