A couple of Brian Duncan''s 'babies':-

The first one a cross between Narcissus cyclamineus and N. 'Camborne'. This from Brian in 2011 under his seedling number 3125
The second also in 2011, Brian's label just said "Little yellow trumpet seedling"

How little is "Little yellow trumpet seedling", David? The flower is a lovely shape/proportion.

The bulbocodium x triandrus hybrids have to be my absolute favourite, combining the grace of triandrus with the substance of the hoop petticoats. They also grow very well for me here, with 'Solveig's Song' increasing from 2 flowers last year to 10 (ten!) buds now - pictures in a couple of weeks!

For the time being, N. x cazorlanus is a naturally occurring hybrid, 3 buds from one bulb here. Behind are Crocus minimus 'Bavella' and N. nanus.

Anne, do you think either of them are worth giving a name to? Both are very slow to multiply.

They're all special, being your babies, Anne. However, I especially like 3512 with the green eye and 3267 is outstanding - excellent form to the flower and the colour is charming.

I admire your skill in flowering the autumnal narcissi, Anthony. Are you finding it easier down under?
Matt, you and I have the same tastes, those are my favourites too.
David, you might have to ask Brian about that. The first one is really nice, depending on its habit and height.

They just sit in pots in a sunny part of the garden. Apart from the remnants of Cyclone Pam, which dumped 12 hours of solid rain on us last weekend, we haven't had any meaningful rain since mid December. Days are still sunny and mid twenties.
