Hi Anne,
Did you get one of your small-handed minions to hold those flowers? Because they make the blooms look HUGE! :o

Hello Anne. When did you see the sun last? Hoping your place is getting dryer soon.
Your large flowered hybrids, flat corona cantabricus and pinked edges etc... are all fascinating :o :D :)

Narcissus 'Galathoquilla group' :Not a snowdrop but a Narcissus with a snowdrop name :-d
The first flowering trumpet Narcissus in my garden (the name cause it flower together with the snowdrops). A cross between N. lagoi x N. jonquil (an early small form or N. assoanus) .


Some comments on this plant from Facebook:


Brian Duncan added 3 new photos .... and commented :

Tongue-in-cheek I've called these little daffodils 'Galantoquilla Group' or my Snowdrop daffodils. They usually flower about mid-snowdrop season (this year they've beaten most of my snowdrops to it as the first buds have opened. They are about the size and height of snowdrops, they usually show a prominent upright spathe, they have a drooping pose and vertical stems. Bred from N. lagoi x N. jonquil (an early small form or N. assoanus) .
They make a nice start to the daffodils season before Christmas and I can't wait for them to clump up.

Rafa Díez Domínguez  asked:
 N. asturiensis x N. jonquilla?


Brian Duncan:   N. lagoi x N. jonquilla (small early form) or N. assoanus. The jonquilla was given to me by a friend in America and the identification is not certain. I have no doubt that n. lagoi is closely related to N. asturiensis but it is   slightly larger and it grows with an upright stem unlike many N. asturiensis - it also usually has a vertical spathe and a drooping pose - all of which make it ideal for using in crosses. Ben zonneveld checked chromosames and made it 47.4 against two clones of N. asturiensis at 22..9 and 23.9. .he said my N. lagoi = N. vilarvidensis.
But the flowers at Vilar vidas are much llarger - unless I missed the true N. vilarvidensis.


Harold Koopowitz:  I don't see any jonquilla in that. Maybe it is pure N. lagoi. If you pollinate will it set seed?

Rafa Díez Domínguez:  yes, N. lagoi is not valid name, like var. villarvildensis they are just tetraploid N. asturiensis. It puzzle me those hybrids that not show any character from its mother jonquillae

 Once I also saw this, between N. jonquilla (mother) and a unidentified big subsp. of bulbocodium which their hybrid hasn't any character in the flower from jonquilla, but the rest of the plant were like jonquilla. This hybrid grew isolated into the river, into the jonquilla clump, between its bulbs.
