Welcome to my 2012 list. I'm pleased to be able to offer a good selection of this , although there are only a few of each one available, since I will only send flowering sized , and my stocks are recovering from the 2010-2011 winter. There are also some new and VERY rare narcissi available for the first time in the UK. I'm currently attempting to construct my new website (cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth) so hopefully soon you'll be able to access better photos of the online. I hope you enjoy browsing, and look forward to hearing from you.
