heeeer's Lucy! comes to my mind. Showing my age LOL

Here is the cute Candlepower just before it goes over and how it was at the start of the month

just Googled 'Jenny' http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=narcissus%20jenny&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi Looks like it should turn white. I also checked Daff Seek http://daffseek.org/query-detail.php?value1=Jenny&lastpage=1. Classed as a dwarf but how small/tall is it?

Roughly 8-10 inches?

Is it a garden centre bulb?

This is N. moschatus taken yesterday

[David Nicholson]

It is, and I know now that you rarely get what it says on the packet. I have learned a lesson and shall buy most of my bulbs in future from specialists even though my pocket will be lighter.

[mark smyth]

Not sure what you mean. If they turn white they will be 'Jenny'. This could take a week.

Not all bulbs from specialists will be true either. Look at this pot of 'Mitzy' supplied by a UK bulb supplier.
See anything wrong?

[Anthony Darby]

Yep, there appears to be conifer growing out of the pot?

[mark smyth]

Such a rubbish day I had to try and get a decent background. 3 bulbs bought as Mitzy - the tall one - and when flowering shows three different bulbs.

I don't think my 'Jenny' are ever that yellow, or that shape, and are generally taller too.

[annew]

That is a beauty.

A photograph of Narcissus 'Jenny' from January in my garden. Like Anne W. I find it is not all that low growing, certainly over a foot high. Here I find it is one of the earliest of the garden daffodils.

I'm not at all surprised, that 3110 is a real stunner. What a beautiful little thing, I think it has a great fututre ahead of it. Well done, Brian!

[mark smyth]

I should have said the photos of Brian's seedling is mine and not from Daffnet.

As some of you will know I got a major telling off off forum but lots of lurkers on Daffnet came out in support
