Narcissus season is coming to a close in the garden and we've had quite a run, starting in mid-December with N. 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation' and continuing through early May without interruption. Before we say goodbye to the Narcissus until next season, I'd like to show a couple of very eye-catching late varieties.
First up is Narcissus 'Smiling Sun', a perfectly shaped flower with a yellow trumpet and white petals. Some of the yellow from the trumpet spreads onto the petal bases, a really nice touch.

The last Narcissus to open in the garden is 'Felindre', a poeticus with a nice blend of green, yellow, and red in its sharply defined small cup. It's also nicely proportioned with medium sized flowers on compact plants.

Unless I've overlooked another late variety, that's it for Narcissus until next year.
