Hi Folks,
    I've never seen one of these on a Daff before.... Is it just a curiosity or should I go into panic mode? The growth is on a 4W-Y(Double) called 'Greek Surprise'.

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.

Narcissus 'Niphetos'
Narcissus 'Multamanta'
Narcissus 'Brilliancy'
I love these historical daffs, I have been buying a few each year from Croft 16 as well.

Most of the later-flowering daffs have been having their portraits taken today. Some are pretty and some just BIO (botanical interest only).
2827 is Narcissus rupicola Rapiata x Candlepower
3136 is Creme Fraiche Group - Narcissus watieri x rupicola Spring Charm
3172 is Panna Cotta Group - Narcissus rupicola Spring Charm x watieri
3136 are seedlings from N. rupicola 'Spring Charm' Very small with very blue leaves.

I have just spent 2 hours pollinating. No buzz left. The flowers that didn't get to the Rosemoor daffodil competition were in perfect condition, so I've put them in vases and photographed them quick before they collapse!
Happy Mother's Day to all mum's separated from our families.

Amazing narcissi as usual, Anne. I wish they were all hardy here.
The first to flower for me is Narcissus asturiensis

Another autumn flowering Narcissus - this was raised from seed from the AGS Seedex 2011 collected in Coripe, Sevilla, Spain as Narcissus miniatus but these were then lumped into N. obsoletus as I mentioned in 2017. Rafa later told me that it should be considered to be Narcissus deficiens

I received this by seed from a friend in New Zealand as N. cuatrecaasii, but it seems more likely to be N. rupicola. However it is a paler shade of yellow and seeds true. Smells like N. rupicola
New Zealand plant left, standard Rupicola right - again very difficult to show the difference in colour. The NZ plant is a more sulphur yellow.
Lastly, Little Jen is now fully out!

More portraits! Getting a lot done since we are stuck at home. A small bright side.
2972 comes from N. triandrus x Second Fiddle. Both parents were white, so the variation in the seedlings was a surprise. This is one of only two seedlings surviving.
3955 N. triandrus var triandrus x rupicola 'Spring Charm' these are the same parents that produced 'Little Jen', but this time the two sisters have reverse bicolour flowers.
