As far as I was told the pattern is not a result of a breeding, but the bulbs are infected by a special virus. The disease makes the pattern. The result is, that every flower is different from another. But because these plants are sick, they do only live for a few years.
They are virused indeed. Keep them away from other bulbs cause the virus can be passed on to other plants very easily, by touch (humans or animals) or by vectors (aphids,...) and most other plants will not respond so well to being infected.
Too late. They stand in the middle of many other perennial and bulbous plants. I'll see what will happen. Thank you for your advice.GroetjesHannelore P.S. Misschien krijg ik dann gestreepte narcissen of margrieten
Damn, virus can infect and kill a lot of plants, or make them completely deformed.

I said already: It will give me the chance to plant something new. Usually there is never enough space for all the wonderful things you see at Hessenhof.nl or other interesting places.My mother used to plant Rembrandt tulips and parrot tulips more than 60 years ago and she had them always in her flower beds surrounded by all the other flowers. I've never heard that it did harm to any plant. Let's wait and see.My husband is Groninger. I can read and understand it. When speaking my accent is horrible.Groetjes Hannelore
