Hell ya! Thanks for the reply! I am definitely off on the hunt, to see what N. cantabricus, romieuxii I can get my hands on! One of the many reasons, I think your blog is great, is because you shed light on plants I would of overlooked or missed before! – 49r0tmJH50*r: That is my screwy mind + screwy computer skills trying to saying THANKS! Haahahah -Camille

Your rare bulb collections made me enthusiastic about getting a few bulbs too.I have veltheimias ready to bloom in a sunny window. So great.
Your passion is inspiring.

I have often seen gardens planted historically, to match the house, or the original design/plan. But I've never seen a historical posy. Have you come across the ThinkinGardens site? Might appeal to you.

Do you heat your greenhouse? Or is that a foolish question?

What a a beautiful arrangement! What I would do for a greenhouse, but like Kaveh I would be afraid of making evey mistake in the book with one. Scented flowers are always welcome but at this time of year even more so. Happy New Year Matt and everyone.

Don't worry Rcstampyd! I'm often the same way, laptop on lap, typing away when I realize what I typed was 39flsnt9e8weyosing..! NBD.
Most of the tiny hoop narcissus in the N. romieuxii clan have a sweet scent, never the cat pee scent that some paperwhites have. Although, some of these species grow together in the wild. The yellow forms that bloom later – the bulbocodium types, have less, if no scent however. N. cantabricus, romieuxii and their many crosses generally all have a very sweet scent, blooming from November until late January in the greenhouse.

You greenhouse is so great! I have a greenhouse. I dont usually get it up and running untill the bggingin of Feburary. And start my seeds in it for the year. I usually dont run it in the winter because the heating bill. But this winter, after inspiration from your blog, and the mild winter. I am almost kicking myself for not getting it going in that fall. But I am almost afraid to start it up now cause knowing my luck lately, temperatures will probably drop once I get it going. Ha! 😉
I guess it is okay either way.. I have a sunroom where I over winter my plants. So I still get to enjoy a daily dose of flowers and plants…
Okay..I am getting besides the point! I can't believe the, Narcissus romieuxii ssp. cantabricus, flower smells like gummy bears! Oh man is that so awesome!! 🙂 I was kind looking around and this might be a silly question. Does every flower in the Narcissus romieuxii species have the gummy bear scent? Or it only Narcissus romieuxii ssp. cantabricus. Thank you for your time. And have a Happy New Year! -Camille

I really want a greenhouse when I move but I am a bit intimidated by them. Strangely enough greenhouse care and upkeep wasn't really something they taught us in school. I love all your greenhouse posts.
