September 2025 in the Southern Hemisphere
« on: September 03, 2025, 10:58:14 AM »
September is "Peak Daffodil" in southern Australia.
Here are a few in our garden:
1) A dwarf tazetta, possibly 'Minnow'
2) an unlabelled Div 2
3) Narcissus 'Bittern'
4) Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête'
5) Narcissus maybe 'Fenben'
cheers

Some Division 6 (derived from Narcissus cyclamineus) daffs
1) 'Rapture'
2) An unlabelled pink cup Div 6 with a few other daffs
3) Another unlabelled Div 6 which might 'Bezzababe'
4) A standard sized Div 6
5) This was received as 'Ruddynosey' which is a Div 1 (trumpet) but I suspect it's a Div 6

Hancocks Daffodils had a great commercial display as usual.
I'll not be commenting on how many I ordered!
