Hi
A few more late season flowers.
Kees, I only pollinate once usually. I do a lot of hybridising so I take my chances.

Graham it has been nice to follow Your and progress with the narcissus when we here in the North have to wait some time for most of the plants. At least I will have to wait. I do appreciate Your comments but would like sometimes a comment why something is bad. I mostly understand it now but if You write that a part is bad give a hint why it is bad. That way we who do not know so much learn what to look for.
Thanks everyone that gives us some extra sun to enjoy.

Kind regards
Joakim

Hi Graham
You have some lovely mini poets there, my last miniature poet emerges in the 4 days of continuous rains we had here in Dunedin, the sun is shinning today so I will see if I can get a picture of it along with Whitesail that also has one bloom out and another about to open up.
I might cross polinate them and see what happens, as both are poets.
Graham if you cross a double to a "standard" will you get a mix of both and does it matter which one is the seed parent etc. I will cross them both ways and wait the 3-4 years for the results. The reason I ask this question is that it appears that doubles give doubles but I have never seen a standard in Daffnet with a double as one of the parents.

Some wonderful stuff in here everyone.  Graham, glorious flowers as usual, particularly the pink trumpet cyclamineus and that beautiful white and yellow triandrus (and the pure white triandrus too for that matter!  ;D).

Paul, is it possible that your Melbourne weather is what stops your green double opening?  Have you tried it in a warmer spring climate to see whether it opens or not?  I like quirky ones like that, and the interesting "double trumpet" one of Graham's as well.  Sometimes the oddities can be interesting, although I can hear Lesley about to castigate me for saying that!  ;D

I should also mention that my "prize winning triandrus hybrid" is actually one of the two varieties I have from Graham a few years ago, so it is an advertisement for him as well.  A great grower and flowerer it is too!!  8)
