Anne - You certainly have some little darlings there. 2665 is absolutely smashing as well as 2775. I don't think anyone has ever hit the nail on the head with naming as you did with the stunning Papa Snoz, brilliant; looks like Popeye's dad.  Great work.

Papa Snoz, and the rest in the first batch of pictures, are not of my breeding - so not my choice of name. It is one of Graham Fleming's seedlings at Keira nursery in Australia. Nice little daff, though a bit big for pot work. When I have enough, I'll put some outside.

Anne, stunning selection of (more or less) miniature daffodils - love them all!
do you test your own bred ones outside?
- and a second question: do you know the (geographical) origin of the N. romieuxii?

A very nice collection Anne. Like Gerd I'm interested in the provenance of the N. romieuxii; it sems to be a late-flowering form.

It's a nice one isn't it, and quite distinctive. I'll contact the friend who gave me it to see if he can tell me the provenance.
I do test mine outside when I have enough, but since I haven't been producing them that long, not many come into that category yet. Sidora and Jim Lad are both fine out in a trough, and grow shorter there.

hmmm, I can see I'm going to have to sneak up to your garden Anne with the bucket & spade ;D

I like nos 2655, 62 & 64 ...  and 75 & 76 ... perhaps I should just tell you the ones I don't like  ::)

They really are little gems ( I know thats a lettuce before someone steps in) and you can't help but smile when you see them.  Some of mine are just bursting through.

Here are some Narcissus currently in bloom in my bulb house.

The first two I have as N. fernandesii - is this correct

The last one has no name - can someone hazard a guess at what it might be.

Thanks
