Hi Fermi,

Thank you for sharing the photographs.

If one checks things out on DaffSeek one will find that Snook was bred by Glenbrook Bulb Farm in Tasmania. Keira Bulbs is a retailer in your region? Snook has been in the U.S.A. for many years and is the parent of a number of hybrids both as a seed and pollen parent. Most of the registered hybrids have been around for a while too. Are you growing any of the offspring of Snook?

fermi de Sousa:
Hi Robert,
Yes, 'Snook' is a Glenbrook introduction, but I think I got it from Keira Bulbs along with the cream N. bulbocodium cv.
I haven't grown any of the descendants nor have I grown any seedlings from it - but I live in hope ;D
cheers

Coincidentally, Graham Fleming from Keira Bulbs was the speaker at the AGS Vic Group meeting yesterday!
He gave an impressive talk on "Our World of Miniature Daffodils" - acknowledging that groups like the AGS (UK), SRGC and The American Daffodil Society have been the main supporters of miniature daffs at Shows.
A few members brought daffodils bought from Keira Bulbs over the years including an impressive pot of Glenbrook's 'Swagger' shown by member John F. I brought a couple of N. cyclamineus hybrids from KB.
cheers
