Happy New Year to all the Bulbsters. Peace and sweet blooms to all .

Here in Zone 9 the early Narcissus like 'Ziva' have been in bloom for several weeks triggred by the early, heavy rain in Oct and Nov. My 'Ziva' are starting to fade, but 'Ariel' and 'Bethlehem' are still looking good. 'Golden Rain' looks bright and cheery, but I only seem to get a few blooms each year from the clumps I planted.

This is N. Ariel which is a tazetta type. It is shorter and stockier than Ziva so it is especially nice for pots as it doesn't flop over. Also the bloom clusters are large. Got mine from McClure and Zimmerman, a couple of years ago.
