Very smart snowdrops- but it is all  the colour that warms my heart - it is very cold here again and those flowers speak of sunshine!

Many thanks once again, Luit ... Tulipa Bonbini is exceptional.

Narcissus Hillstar               
Narcissus Canarybird
and the good old Narcissus Golden Harvest

Narcissus Hillstar  is quite an elegant reverse type.
Golden harvest type daffodils are always my favourite shaped ones. By the
By the way Luit, do you know if daffodils 'Dutch Muster' and 'Golden Harvest' can easily distinguished by bloom shape, colour shade or plant sizes. I grow 'Dutch Muster', but I am not sure if it is true to name. If blooms very early, but blomms fade to pale yellow even under shade in the third day of flowering. They say that quite often under the name 'Dutch Muster' different yellows might be sold. So another question, I would like to know if 'Dutch Muster' has nay special feature on the basis of which it can be distingushed from other yellow trumpet daffodils.

Zhirair, before I could answer your question I thought it better to ask an expert first 
N. Golden Harvest and Dutch Master are of the same height but Golden Harvest stems grow up later a little longer.
Golden Harvest trumpets are longer and a bit darker yellow and keeps this colour.
Dutch Master's trumpets are later indeed fading to some paler yellow and the petals as well.

Luit,
Thank you very much for taking time to look for the info to answer my questions.
On the basis of your comments, I can assume that my 'Dutch Master' could be true to name. It has very beautiful flowers and colour at the beginning of blooming, then the colour fades and the flowers don't look attractive. I don't grow 'Golden Harvest' yet, but I think I should get it. In the picture it looks very beautiful.

The best yellow in my collection is 'Gigantic Star' - giant bright yellow trumpet-shaped large corona, making a splash on most of my visitors. It is long lasting, has very good constitution of petals and keeps its colour well.

Narcissus Zaïde is very nice.

It is, isn't it.  I like Langwith too.

Is T. 'Outbreak' with all those secondary flowers a new breeding direction Luit?

Ashley, as far as I know are multiflowering tulips not new.
