IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !! ALL BULBS: [Our kind friend Marilyn Pekasky of the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens voluntarily performs the thankless task of trying to verify the names of items offered on the BX. In the case of the genus Narcissus this has proved nearly impossible. So I have decided to go with the names that were provided by our very knowledgeable donor Roy Herold.] From Roy Herold: Narcissus are mostly blooming size. N numbers are Roy's own. 1. Narcissus albidus occidentalis N028 2 Narcissus assoanus ex Spain N079 3 Narcissus 'Atlas Gold' JCA805Y 4 Narcissus bulbocodium hybrid N051 5 Narcissus bulbocodium N020 6 Narcissus bulbocodium N052 7 Narcissus bulbocodium obesus N024 8 Narcissus bulbocodium obesus N027A 9 Narcissus bulbocodium var. praecox N076 10 Narcissus bulbocodium ssp romieuxii N013 11 Narcissus bulbocodium tenuifolius N022 12 Narcissus 'Joy Bishop' N068 13 Narcissus 'Julia Jane' N105 ex Odyssey, different from N106 14 Narcissus 'Julia Jane' N106 ex McGary, different from N105 15 Narcissus Mixed Seedlings These date back to a mass sowing in 2004 of seed from moderately controlled crosses of romieuxii, cantabricus, albidus, zaianicus, and similar early blooming sorts of the bulbocodium group. Colors tend to be light yellow through cream to white, and flowers are large, much larger than the little gold colored bulbocodiums of spring. These have been selected three times, and the keepers are choice. Similar to my 2012 PBS offering. 16 Narcissus 'Nylon' 17 Narcissus romieuxii albidus tananicus N002 18 Narcissus 'Treble Chance' JCA805 N066 19 Narcissus zaianicus lutescens x cantabricus N037 20.
