Narcissus albimarginatus

Hi

Even Kurt Vickery said last week on FB that he has trouble in pollinating
albimarginatus. It would be great to cross those clones. I must admit that
I would be most pleased to swap some of the resulting seeds. I have two
bulbs from him, but still too young to flower. I would be happy to swap
pollen in following years.

I live in a city on SE Spain, we have few rainy days or even dew, and
flowers are normally dry. Wild plants obviously get moist in the
countryside but I think it is better to wait until flowers are dry. Anyway
all you have to do is wait until the anthers release the pollen and take
some with a toothpick, then onto the stigma.  I have had good results doing
this on flowers that have just opened, but as you know they last for some
days and the receptive window is quite wide.

Good luck.

Carlos
