I bought what was said to be the original clone Narcissus romieuxii 'Julia Jane' from England many years ago, and still have it. Several years later I grew a group of N. romieuxii from another Archibald collection, which I also still have, and I see little or no difference between the named clone and the group of wild seedlings. Probably they were from the same population. I suspect the bulbs sold as 'Julia Jane' these days are seedlings, since it comes very true from seed. Both forms I have are extremely vigorous in my bulb house, where they sometimes hybridize with the earlier-flowering N. cantabricus, resulting in somewhat taller stems and cream-colored flowers. I'll be donating a lot of bulbs of these to the BX this summer, as they have spread to take up far too much room in the raised bed (under a roof) where they grow with many other plants. I have tried both species mentioned outdoors under a large Douglas fir, where they survive and flower, but the flowers are usually destroyed either by the rain or by slugs. I also have a lot of Narcissus in the same section (Bulbocodium) grown over the years from the stock of Michael Salmon, who subscribed to the "splitting" tendency in naming them. I have given up identifying them according to one or the other school of thought, but they are all beautiful. The latest to flower are Narcissus bulbocodium itself; the most vigorous form I have is from seed collected in the Atlas Mountains. N. bulbocodium ssp. praecox lives up to its name, however, flowering with N. cantabricus in January. N. bulbocodium ssp. (?) citrinus is just opening now.
