Is that name a joke Ruben or did you buy it with the name attached, I haven't seen a mention of it anywhere?

[Matt T]

It's one of Brian Duncan's hybrids, David. Anne W listed for the first time last year. I have one just breaking bud now. The name (Galantoquilla Group) is genuine and registered, you can find it on: Daffseek

[David Nicholson]

Thanks Matt found it with the correct spelling (Galantoquilla).

Oh, Tatsuo, I LIKE that one!
I have a Galantoquilla out as well, very cute and demure.

"Shiraume" is just like a little primrose!

Oh, Tatsuo, I LIKE that one!

Thanks, Anne. Fortunately, it's a vigorous and good increaser

"Shiraume" is just like a little primrose!

Yes, Matt... or it looks like a miniature hymenocallis for its 6 lobed corona.

Narcissus ‘Shiraume’

Tatsuo, this is a very appealing and unique narcissus.

Narcissus romieuxii 'Hat' has been flowering for over 2 weeks and still looks fresh.  This is a lovely selection from the late Kath Dryden, "a distinct form with typical particularly large scalloped flowers and flared skirt" and easy to grow.  The photograph does not do it justice.

[YT]

Thanks, Cyril. I'm multipling them
Your 'Hat' is lovely, too!
