This Narcissus is really very delicate beauty

Narcissus ‘Kōhō’
This yellow hoop was selected from seedlings of Monocot Nursery's "Narcissus bulbocodium var. conspicuus S.F.391 Spain, Ubrique" at a nursery in Japan. But I suppose it can be a hybrid origin. It is too early for 'true' conspicuus.

I have a question that seems surely stupid ... I asked the question to one of the forum members by mail. I never got an answer. When you write "Narcissus bulbocodium var. Conspicuus SF391" ... What does SF391 mean or other series of figures that can be read?

Hello Fred, I guess you did not get my email from 27th December?  I'll send it again.
This is the most important part....
In this forum thread, http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=5050.0  there are many such references listed. I'm not sure who SF  is - but I'm sure another  person will know...

 Had a look at one of the lists posted in that other thread ....  it says  SF =  Forde, P.

Thank you Maggi, I did not receive the email of December 27. Finally, I suspected that it had to be the abbreviations of the people from which the seeds or clones came. On the other hand I was far from suspecting that there could be as many ...

Thank you, Maggi That thread is very useful for me, too!

It was the RHS list that gave me that info for SF - which seemed to be an odd answer - wondering if it was a typo for SP ?!
 Kurt Vickery clarifies the matter with the  info that    SF ARE  Salmon and Fillan - Mike S and Mark F   ( sometimes shown as S&F )

 Thanks, Kurt  - must admit that does ring a bell  now!

The photographic shots are for many as well. Cele highlights well the flowers and the plant.

The first narcissus flowers are out on my raised bed. Still no cat digging since the track ballast was applied! (They are going in my frames instead  )
