Hi Fermi,
Thank you for sharing the photographs.
If one checks things out on DaffSeek one will find that Snook was bred by Glenbrook Bulb Farm in Tasmania. Keira Bulbs is a retailer in your region? Snook has been in the U.S.A. for many years and is the parent of a number of hybrids both as a seed and pollen parent. Most of the registered hybrids have been around for a while too. Are you growing any of the offspring of Snook?

Hi Robert,
Yes, 'Snook' is a Glenbrook introduction, but I think I got it from Keira Bulbs along with the cream N. bulbocodium cv.
I haven't grown any of the descendants nor have I grown any seedlings from it - but I live in hope
cheers

Coincidentally, Graham Fleming from Keira Bulbs was the speaker at the AGS Vic Group meeting yesterday!
He gave an impressive talk on "Our World of Miniature Daffodils" - acknowledging that groups like the AGS (UK), SRGC and The American Daffodil Society have been the main supporters of miniature daffs at Shows.
A few members brought daffodils bought from Keira Bulbs over the years including an impressive pot of Glenbrook's 'Swagger' shown by member John F. I brought a couple of N. cyclamineus hybrids from KB.
cheers

Hi Fermi,
Thank you for the information!
I like the bicolor of Swagger – at least it looks bicolor to me. It must have inherited the characteristic from Gipsy Queen. I’m not sure where this characteristic came from. Breeding is full of surprises.
Our first autumn blooming Narcissus have yet to show above the soil. Something should show with the next month. The earliest Hoops will not be blooming until late December – early January depending on the weather. Many of our new hybrids should start blooming this year. Maybe something good will show up. Fun!
