THANK YOU FOR THE INFO HAROLD.

WHERE ARE YOU IN ORANGE COUNTY...LOWER ELEVATIONS, HILLS?

I WOULD LIKE TO PLANT THIS BULB OUT IN IRVINE. THE AREA WOULD BE
IRRIGATED A BIT IN THE SUMMER, BUT NEVER WET, JUST ENOUGH TOO SUPPORT
THE GRASSES AND LAVENDERS, ETC.
DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD DO ALRIGHT IF TREATED THIS WAY, OR DO THEY
REALLY NEED TO BAKE AND DRY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS?

DO YOU GROW YOURS IN CONTAINERS OR IN BEDS?
I PLANTED THEM IN AZALIA POTS WITH POTTING SOIL, PUMICE, BULB BOOSTER
AND WORM CASTINGS.
DURING THE GROWING SEASON, I GIVE THEM SOME LIQUID FERTILIZER.
I WONDERING IF I AM PLANTING THEM TOO SHALLOWLY.

DO YOU GROW N. RUPICOLA SSP. WATIERI?

REGARDS,

KEVIN INK

Hi Kevin:

I live in Orange County and grow lots of narcissus of all types. You
should not have any trouble flowering your cantabricus. When did you
repot them last? Maybe they are a little starved. It is still a
little early for them to flower in our area.

GOOD MORNING,

I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA AND HAVE BEEN GROWING N. CANTABRICUS
FLOS., IN POTS, FOR 3 YEARS.
I AM GETTING A LOT OF FOLIAGE, BUT VERY LITTLE FLOWER.
THE LEAVES START TO APPEAR IN OCTOBER.
I REST THEM OUTDOORS, IN THE SHADE, WITH VERY LITTLE WATER THRU THE
SUMMER.

I'M HOPING THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE MEDITERRANEAN, THEY WILL GROW IN MY
AREA.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO COULD ON BEING MORE SUCCESSFUL?

THANK YOU.

KEVIN INK
