{OUR NARCISSUS ACTAEA A POETICUS VARIETY ~ Heirloom 1927}

On February 27, I did show you our Narcissus Cragford in my blog: {SPRING 2011 IS GRADUATING}. Now I want to introduce to you our Narcissus Actaea, a Poeticus variety. Pieter took these two photos on March 14. Each day something else is blooming on our estate. It is big, and you have to walk the entire property to find the new wonders. White Flower Farm does sell this gem!

Look at the very special stamens inside its tiny cup!
Heirloom 1927 late midseason.

    How beautiful there are, Mariette! I do not believe I have seen them before... pure sunshine, yet somehow so elegant in shape and layers. Thank you for sharing them :)

    I hope you are having a lovely week... I can hardly believe that the weekend is almost upon us.

    warmly,
    Sarah

    Yes, beautiful are not they? Here we call that kind in Dutch "Pheasant Eyes"
    They bloom here until April, it's one of the later species in the Netherlands.

    Hi Mariette, What beauty! is beautiful, you as I've said before, a variety (seemingly endless) of plants and exotic flowers, it belongs to the species of orchids? I am not very knowledgeable about plants, but I love them! Greetings, Rose Marie
