Did you know that 'Cup And Saucer' is what some people call Canterbury Bells (Campanula medium).

Arthur :

It is real funny with all the names in different areas !

In Germany are Narcissus  : Osterglocken ( bells of Easter )
In Bavaria : Maerzenbecher ( cup of March )
in the rest of Germany are Maerzenbecher : Leucojum aestivum

My Inca doesnt look like yours, Michael. Where did yours come from? Do they change colour?

[Michael J Campbell]

Mark, from MBC. I don't think it is correct like most of the order I got from them.

[Michael J Campbell]

My rockery white is not correct either, and don't mention the crocus I got from them. No order this year!

[mark smyth]

Yours are correct according to the daffseek pages
