Anne,
glad to see a pic of Second Fiddle as I've just ordered it myself from Marcus Harvey in Tasmania. Errrr, the 2nd pic of it looks a bit ragged...? Possums?
Your cross of N. hedraeanthus and N. asturiensis looks absolutely cute!
cheers

I agree with Fermi re: the cross of
N. hedraeanthus
and
N. asturiensis
. I really must try and force some of the latter or store some pollen of the former?

BD says that when he has made both sets of narcissus crosses with other species, he has got pretty much the same results, whoever is the pollen parent...... always fun to try, though, isn't it?

I once found in a book (I have forgotten where)
The father (pollen) has an influence to the colour of the hybrid
and the mother an influence to the shape (height).
- but I never made a test to verify this.

In the RHS Daffodil and Tulip Yearbook 1956, Douglas Blanchard wrote that a seedling gets the perianth from the mother and the colour and flowering time from the father.
My Feb Golds are only 8cm high as yet! It stayed frozen all day today in shady places, yet I saw a butterfly in a sunny patch!

There is also mitochondrial DNA which is only in the ovule?

Well, exactly.... so why have we found so little difference???
By the way, is it mitochondrial or mitRochondrial, or mitrochondial
? One of those words which confuses me completely.... like pyroclastic
