The weather was cold in the past week. It is no good for the narcissuses. The leaves of the plants are growing long. As you may appreciate, the cold weather may delay the flowering.As a remedial measure, I have placed the plants under spot lights and used the warm light to assist the growth.
As you can see from the photo above, a number of flower shoots are coming out. The quality of the narcissus bulbs this year appears to be good. Each bulb has eight to ten or more flower shoots. The price of a flowering narcissus in the new year eve market can be very expensive. It is more economic to buy a bulb and grow it yourself. Although it calls for a lot of effort, the happiness you can get from seeing your narcissus blossoming is simply invaluable.
Hopefully, all my narcissuses will flower in time!
