Narcissus calcicola
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Endemic to Portugal, where it grows in limestone crevices and occasionally in rocky clearings or at the edge of holm oak groves (Serra de Sicó, Serras de Aire e Candeeiros, Serra de Montejunto, Serra da Arrábida, the Algarve), Narcissus calcicola is a dwarf jonquil. Its narrow, blue-tinged leaves frame a miniature, pure bright yellow flower with a broad, shallow cup and a delicate violet scent. It requires well-drained limestone soil and a sunny to partly shaded position.
