Dear Vlad, dear all, thank you, Vlad, for your great video, and all others for your wonderful additions! Narcissus are great both in pots and in the garden, and I agree with Jim: It's sad to see how few people have any. I gave a bag of 100 bulbs of an unnamed commercial variety to friends, who immediately worried about being able to mow their lawn. In our area, it seems unbearable to restrain yourself from mowing until, say, late May, or to make the effort to cut around the foliage after bloom. As we are on heavy soil in the same climate as Vlad, the range of species and varieties to grow in the garden is limited, and any more tender varieties and all fall and winter bloomers have to be grown in pots. I am just beginning to give the latter a go. In the lawn, I largely rely on those large bags and wholesale dutch suppliers. The prices for those are ridiculously low (if I remember correctly, those 100 mentioned above for 15 Euros; you can get them for even less here when the bulb-selling season ends), it's more the work of getting them planted which limits my efforts. I got a long-handled bulb planter last autumn, whichs helps a lot. I am having a great time looking up all the varieties you mentioned, if you (and especially Vlad) have recommendations for varieties for heavy soil in my climate (zone 8a), I would love to hear your suggestions. Vlad, do you know any source for "Fairy Chimes"? The unnamed narcissus in the lawn are on their way out. I wrote some time ago that N. poeticus had vanished from our lawn, but as a wonderful surprise this year: it is still there. I am under the impresssion that many bulbs I planted several years ago and which flowered in the first and second growing season and then vanished for several years are slowly increasing. Sometimes, it just takes some patience. All the best from Bielefeld (where nights are tiptoeing around 0°C and sunny days have been promised. Tulips are starting and fruit trees are flowering, and a cup of tea and ten minutes in the sun feel like a holiday while public life is shutting down yet again ...)
