Hi
Anne
The standard bicolor is W-Y and the standard reverse is Y-W. You are correct in that Y-O, W-P, W-O and Y-P are also bicolors. There are reverse bicolors in the reverse of these combinations. The more obscure bicolor is two different shades of yellow.
We have reverse bicolors (Y-W) in most forms of miniatures. By chance I had one more photo to post. A new reverse bicolor intermediate jonquilla hybrid. It is probably fertile. Unfortunately it does not have the form of its siblings.
We have lots of reverse bicolor bulbocodium hybrids but that is more to do with the parentage of our bulbocodium hybrids. I don't think they are as common as in our seedling boxes.
Lesley would we use your name in vain while you are off looking at Otto's plants!!

I'm no wiser, Graham. The 'reverse bicolour' bulbocodiums you show are all W-Y, and so not reverse are they? AAAArgh!

Hi
Anne, I think it is a case of mea culpa. I have wrongly referred to bicolor bulbocodiums as reverse bicolor bulbocodiums. My other references were correct.
It is almost the end of the season here now. However, there is still a lot of pollinating going on. I think I will stop tomorrow. I have to do some work on our new house.

Anne,
I was thinking the same thing.
The NTT with 4 florets is pretty nice too!!
None of the others are to be sneezed at either!!
