Dear Kevin,

Reporting from coastal Northern California which is different from
Southern
California of course as we get more rainfall and probably cooler
temperatures, but this species is super easy for me in containers
kept dry,
but moved to the shade in summer. No baking here. Many pots have been
blooming for awhile and others are starting into bloom. Mine multiply
rapidly in the pots, almost double every year so I repot them
frequently
and always have pots in bloom to give to friends every year. Perhaps
they
need to be planted deeper or divided or planted in a deeper container?

I obtained mine originally from Bill Dijk in New Zealand and they
needed a
year or two to change hemispheres, but since then have bloomed
reliably and
allowed me to share with many others. It's great fun to be able to
give
people a blooming Narcissus at this time of the year as it is so
unexpected.

Mary Sue
