There is something in my befuddled mind about the double poeticus, regarding it never being found in the wild but there being a stand somewhere in the Orkney Islands. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

That really is the most stunning double I have seen, I have a few doubles and quite like white sail a miniature double.
I have a few daffs that I would not mind names for if possible.
I will post a few pics and if anyone can help it would be fantastic.

Hi
Another pic for ID, is this Accent?, it seems to multiply quickly which is good as I quite like the pinks.
Speaking of pinks, is reggae a common miniature? Perhaps Leslie might know if its in NZ, more for interest really   ;D .
Regards
Kees

Any chance you could rotate them before posting them Kees. It only takes one sharp turn to give me a crick in the neck that lasts for days.

I do like 'Lord of the Rings' Jānis, and not just because it would go well with 'Bilbo'. I love the lemon edge to the trumpet.

I saw some of the little white one yesterday in a garden centre. It was incredibly strongly scented. Should have bought a few.

Hi Kees,
I'm pretty sure that "Reggae" was on Rod Barwick's list in 2007 or 2008; that's when I got it. So it's in Australia at least.

I don't know if it's here or not but that means nothing as I don't grow many hybrids so have little idea of what is available.

Simon,
a very beautiful narcissi you have. :o 8)

All narcissus flowers over here. After some heavier rainfalls my fight against snails (Arion lusitanicus) has recrudesced :o
I thought the strong winter frosts have most killed'em - nothing of the sort! >:(

Armin I understand how you feel- some heavy rain these last few days means the slugs are out more than normal- luckily they are easy to find and we have a good team of toads in the garden.
'New Baby' was from a garden centre- albeit a posh one  ;)

[Another pic for ID, is this Accent?, it seems to multiply quickly which is good as I quite like the pinks.
Speaking of pinks, is reggae a common miniature?

Just catching up on the Forum - been away for the season !!
I am familiar with Accent and I do not think it is the flower in your picture but I have no reliable id. for you.
There was quite a large stock of 'Reggae' built up in Holland (acres) and I imagine it is quite widely available - I think perhaps Broadleigh have it. Nice to see Bilbo and Reggae mentioned in dispatches - both resulted from my early efforts to raise small reflexed white/pink flowers.
