Fermi seems to be the only one of that noticed it is now March! Well done getting that to flower - I struggle with the autumn flowerers.

Having been sniffled off for taking the daff babies down to Rosemoor, I spent today taking portraits of them so at least I can show you. They are all miniatures.

3216-1-16  nice flat-faced reverse bicolour

4216-1-20 one of a number of seedlings aiming to get a flared rim into a x litigiosus type

4252 - very exciting - the first of our hybrids with N. albimarginatus as pollen parent - deliciously scented

Andy Blanchard - this is the most flowering bulbs I've had in a pot!

Citron Baby - tiny flowers

Fresh Breeze - clear lemon

Mica - matures to pure white

Leslie Cox's little hybrid named for her daughter. I wonder if the real Susan is as naughty as this one - this flower has 8 perianth segments!

Hello Fermi, your plant is Narcissus deficiens (orange segmented corona, green straight perianth tube)

[annew]

I feel very fortunate that although, like everyone else, we are under siege, I can go out in the garden and wander (lonely as a cloud....) among the daffs. Even in the rain, the birds are singing. Happy to share with you all.

Anne,
What a lovely garden! We don't usually see more than your individual plants. Nice and cheery - we need that.
Thank you.

Faburous seedlings, Anne! Your beautiful garden looks comfortable

Thanks, Rafa.
This one came to us as Narcissus miniatus from Harold Koopavitz in the US via Lawrence Trevanion in Canberra.
First pic taken on 16th and the others on 19th of this month

trumpets are funny 

In the garden daffodils are well blooming this year. I grow many old cultivars from Croft 16 and a few ones are already shaking in the wind.
