NARCISSUS PET LAMB A very important and historic variety, it was awarded the Triple honour of the Ralph B. White Memorial Medal for innovation, Best Miniature and Best Seedling at the RHS early show in 2007.
Offered is one of probably only a dozen or so bulbs in existence.
Pet Lamb is an extremely small white trumpet daffodil, flowering at only 5cm high. The creamy white trumpet flowers are less than 2cm in diameter, with a slightly swept-forward perianth, stained bright lime green on the tube. The corona is neatly flanged and frilled at the mouth.
This is the first opportunity to own this little daffodil, and it is unlikely to be offered in any quantity in the future.
NARCISSUS FLURRY
New this year - Elegant, soft white miniature with a long, prettily frilled corona and slightly swept-back perianth on short stems. Was awarded a first prize on her first outing at RHS Rosemoor this year.
NARCISSUS GIPSY VALE
A beautiful little 1W-W miniature, with creamy white trumpets. Consistent show winner and has won many top prizes.
NARCISSUS GISELLE
One or two crystalline pure white pendant flowers per stem, displayed beautifully over low, narrow dark green foliage.
Growing to only 12 cm high, it is easier to grow than most x susannae types, and makes a stunning pot plant.
NARCISSUS LITTLE DRYAD
Obviously my favourite, named for my nursery. A beautiful and refined flower, it makes a wonderful pot plant but should also be hardy outside. Perfect for exhibition at daffodil shows or by alpine exhibitors.
NARCISSUS SPEEDIE
This little hybrid has won multiple first prizes at RHS shows. It has a sleekly reflexed white perianth, and long lemon yellow corona.
NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS LOISELEURII
Rarely offered form of this beautiful species with large elongated flowers of supreme elegance.
For the Galanthophiles, our snowdrops in this outing include many of our Dryad introductions, and other rare delights:
GALANTHUS DRYAD GOLD BULLION
Flowering later, and shorter than Gold Sovereign, this more compact cultivar shares the same vigorous habit, bulks up very rapidly and is very free flowering.
GALANTHUS DRYAD GOLD MEDAL
GOLD MEDAL is an ideal yellow to carry on the season from Gold Sovereign, flowering later, and with rounder and fuller flowers.
GALANTHUS DRYAD GOLD RIBBON
This cultivar has the largest inner mark of all the Dryad Gold group.
GALANTHUS DRYAD GOLD SOVEREIGN
The earliest of the Dryad Gold Group to flower, beginning early-mid January outside in normal years, with large, elegantly long flowers on strong stems, with distinctive long narrow ovaries.
GALANTHUS ESTONIAN SPIRIT GROUP clone 2009/CS6
First offering of this free flowering clone, with olive-gold markings, and flowers which hang on long pedicels.
GALANTHUS ESTONIAN SPIRIT GROUP KULLAKE
An outstanding, compact nivalis, very pale and spectral throughout with a narrow, pale yellow mark on inner segments and pale yellow ovary. Even the leaves are pale and silvery.
GALANTHUS RONALD MACKENZIE
Rarely offered yellow form of G. gracilis, with double yellow marks on inner segments.
GALANTHUS SQUIRE BURROUGHS
This one is as rare as hen’s teeth, but so beautiful. The shape of the flower is supremely elegant, with gracefully pointed outer segments.
And a little extra something:
CROCUS VELUCHENSIS X CVIJICII RAINBOW GOLD
One of Dirk Schnabel’s superb seedlings. The golden yellow flowers are overlaid with purple to give an unusual shot bronze flower. Special and rare.
Good luck!
