Narcissus 'Cedric Morris'

[Maggi Young]

Quoting some discussion from the PBS lists -

Quoting Mark BROWN:

Dear All,
I was wondering if anyone has done any hybridising using Narcissus
minor 'Cedric Morris'.
Or if anyone know someone who has other than Simon Savage?
He used 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation' as the other parent.
Both grow very well here. I would love to try some of the offspring one day.
Or even do some hybridising if anyone has any advice?
Kind regards,
Mark.

I am growing on a number of seedlings of the cross 'Cedric Morris' x
'Rijnveldt's Early Sensation', made by Malcolm Bradbury, a well-known
daffodil enthusiast and editor of the RHS. Daffodils, Tulips and
Snowdrops Yearbook. I think he has retained some selections, mine are
'the rest' and are planted out at the Yorkshire Arboretum. They vary
quite a lot in size, earliness and charm, with just one in flower now
that resembles a larger 'Cedric Morris'. They need observation for a
few years ( this will be their 2nd season flowering here), but there's
no doubt that this cross will give nice early flowering progeny.

Hi
Anne, you have a lot of Cedric Morris in your hybrids if you have been using our highly fertile Papa Snoz for hybridising. We have a lot of Cedric Morris in our hybrids because we have used Papa Snoz for hybridising and we have some excellent Cedric Morris seedlings from Glenbrook Bulb Farm that we are also using for hybridising. Papa Snoz is highly fertile both ways. My Cedric Morris died a long time ago but I suspect GBF still has it growing and it is obviously being used for hybridising. I regard the GBF hybrids as some of the best breeding material available because of the petal coverage.

That's a nice looking one!
