This unusual low growing narcissus produces bright golden, trumpet flowers that open wide giving the appearance of hoop petticoats. It make an excellent specimen plant for the cool glasshouse or alpine house. It is also good for naturalising in rough grass. It can tolerate most soils that are well-drained but moist during the growing season. Plant bulbs at one and half times their own depth in sun or partial shade.

Chris,

Uma bela fotografia com cores quentes e agradáveis. Lembram algumas das cores da bandeira do meu país. Uma moldura muito bem feita e, ainda, anotações bem interessantes.

No cômputo geral, trata-se de um trabalho muito bem feito.

Parabéns.
Sergio

Hi Christian
Very nice flowers - I haven't seen them before. Good composition and framing . I find the grass obscuring the flowers in the front a bit distracting though and maybe I would have liked more detail on all the flowers and not only on the stamens - That is however a personal view and preference
