What constitutes "Historic" Narcissus Luit? Are they simply older varieties?

Impressive as usual Luit, as must be your cycling skills! ;D

Wonder if your "Delabode" should be "Delabole"? Delabole is a small place in Cornwall, and the variety "Dealabole" is listed on Daffseek but with no pic ???

Luit,

love the new Frits.  I hope they will be available soon.

That Narcissus 'Martinsville' looks great.  Never seen it before.

As always, thanks very much for sharing these.

Lesley, they are at least OLD ones, collected from gardens and from the countryside around places where flower bulbs have been grown commercially since ages.
So most are at least 80 and more years old.
Instead of historical Narcissus I could have called them heritage Narcissus.

for "Historic" you should read "Historical" (due to the lack of enough knowledge in another language)  ::) ::) :-[

Jamie, I could show you more than 2500 ones you've never seen before, in 5 minutes walking distance from my place.
Just tell me when it suites you, only 3 hours from Köln  ;D ;D  :D

Typo on my part Luit-the variety listed on Daffseek is "Delabole" and not as I typed "Dealabole"

Thanks Luit, I thought it would be something like that. I often here see "old" plants on farms where there was a homestead 100 years ago but long gone now (my best colchicums came from such a place). There may be colchicums, muscaris, narcissus or violets and others and there are many fine old roses to be found and cuttings taken, from plants in old orchards now abandoned, or in some cases, not far from me, where much of the orchard land was flooded to make the Clutha high dam some years ago. The roses were planted back in the days when they weren't "old" at all. and many long lost treasures can be found with patience and diligence.

Typical an "old man's" typo David  ;D ;D   Did change the text!

Delabole is a small place in Cornwall,
Obviously a Scamp cultivar then?  :)

I would have thought so Luit, but, when I look at Daffseek I see the hybridiser was Irish (Helen K Richardson) and it was registered 1986. Seed parent was 'Teheran' and pollen parent 'Ceylon'. This makes me wonder?

This Monday the weather was very nice again, so I could take my bicycle again to
visit the Show and show you some pictures.

In other years I already showed here many new Muscari. This week we saw many again but I just picked out some pots with this new, huge one:
Muscari Mountain Lady     
and a nice pot of Ipheion Alberto Castillo

Some very nice narcissi - someone has put a lot of effort into displaying them very prettily.
