You may remember  Lesley Cox introducing us to her  hybrid  daffodil, which she decided to name for  her daughter  Susan ?  Here  it is from 2013



Now , thanks to help from Anne  Wright - who has grown and shown this cultivar in the UK  - the plant is fomally registered.





Congratiulations  Lesley - and Susan - who you may also remember has a tattoo of her named  narcissus -  and to Anne for her help.

Happy to help- Lesley was kind enough to send me some bulbs - it is a delightful little daff.

I found this unusual looking daff today! I think it's N. Pipit but not 100% sure. There were several clumps but 1 bulb stood out from the rest as shown in the 2nd pic. Is this normal for this variety? Many thanks Shaun

one of the last Narcissus is the N. odoratus with small but colourful flowers, till 3 per stem.

This is one of the daintiest and reliably flowering 'bulbocodiums' of my collection - with a slight 'obesus look' but smaller than this species
- received from Rafa in 2011

We should compare, side by side. This is the first flowering (now passed) of seeds received in 2014-2015 also from Rafa as Narcissus obesus...

Seems to be quite similar - I got mine first without a species indication and later as possibly obesus.
Extraordinary plant, isn't it?

Mine is from Cascais, near Lisbon, so, it should be true obesus.
Yes, big and nice yellow flowers that I loved. Unfornutaly, snails and slugs loved it too and let me only very few flowers for their first time flowering...

Hi Shauney, the breaking of the white through the yellow on your flower is a sign of virus infection. I recommend you dig up and discard the bulb.

Thankyou Anne for your reply. The leaves look strong and healthy so I think I will dig it up and will quarantine it and see what happens next year. If it dies then I've lost nothing but if it survives and grows strong and does the same then that's a bonus as I actually quite like it!
Many thanks Shaun.
