N.citrinus
N.lobularis

Glorious sunshine brings out the best in the daffies.

Two beauties from Tatsuo - N. cantabricus petunioides and 'clusii'
Brian Duncan's N. Galantoquilla Group give good value, with two scapes from this one bulb.
N. jacetanus
N. 'Candlepower' - newly opened and yet to fade, so still quite yellow.

 I can FEEL the sun in those photos, Matt!  N. cantabricus petunioides is  just gorgeous 

[Matt T]

I could feel the sun today as I was out in it all day! Sometimes, just sometimes there are benefits to being a field ecologist!

I'm thrilled with the beautiful Narcissus that Tatsuo sent me. The petunioides form is really lovely and there are more flowers on the way. I'll never achieve the Narcissus cushion effect, but they'll be getting some extra special mollycoddling to make sure they do well here.

Tatsuo grows some exceptional forms - and of course, in a superb neat  way. We've thought of moving lock stock and bulbhouse to  Japan to live next door to him, you know!

I thought of that first!

Some of Brian Duncan's miniatures: Cheekie Chappie, Punk and Tiny Light.

FANFARE!! My favourite so far of all my seedlings (it'll probably disappear now..) N. Candlepower x a Keira hybrid.

Philip, I love your N. lobularis in the grass.

Lock, stock, bulbhouse and small whites too I hope, Maggi!

Anne, I love them all! The tiny, tiny trumpets are so beautiful, especially the pale ones. Do you plan to list any of these?

[annew]

This one definitely - hoping to register as 'Snippet' - it's only 8cm tall. Also hopefully some of Brian's.

Anne-that is the first to flower this year of what is a small colony.
