As usual Luit lovely pics and thank you for taking the time to keep the series going.

Lots of lovely stuff but I have to say that my favourite was the Narcissus asturiensis x N. 'Candlepower'

Just a query here. I like the look of N. 'Lancaster' since my mum was born in Lancaster and I did a bit of research. According to Daffseek a plant in that name was registered by a Northern Ireland grower in 1977 and it doesn't look a bit like the plant in the Show. What do you think?

The Muscari 'Gul Delight' is really, well, delightful.

I see what you mean, David. The daffseek description of "with a faint flush of orange at rim " doesn't seem to do this one justice. I like the pink muscari too.
Many thanks, Luit for bringing us these lovely show reports.

Luit, thanks for the photo of Crocus kosaninii 'April View'.  (see Reply #26 on: February 23, 2010, page 2)

David, I have no reason to doubt as the (very capable!) Narcissus Committee did not complain either.
I found a picture of the show in April last year and on this picture is the cup not so much orange.
The light of the moment seems to be of influence inside?
Here are both of pics N. Lancaster made with the same camera and the flowers are from the same exhibitor:

Lancaster Februari 2010
Lancaster April 2009

Thomas, April View is registered in 2008 by Wim de Goede.

Many thanks Luit, I see what you mean the light does make a difference.

Thanks again Luit.  Of the tazettas Martinette stands out for me.

I wonder is this Muscari 'Gul Delight' the same as the M. armeniacum collected by Bob & Rannveig Wallis (90-50) and named 'Gul'?

Ashley, I presume it might be so. Gul was the proposed name but as "gül" is only a name for "pink" in Turkish it is not allowed in nomenclature. Therefore Gul Delight.

Do you have it?

[ashley]

Thanks Luit.  Googling suggests that 'Gul Delight' is a registered/protected name. 
Yes I have some plants ex the Wallis collection via JJA, due to flower shortly.
