Thanks Roland for your quick reply. I see there are two registered as 'Alison' which must be confusing.  I'll go with my daughter's name, 'Susan Cox.'

So here it is, to be registered as Narcissus 'Susan Cox.' This picture shows just two bulbs.

I made it 3 x "Alisons" Lesley plus a further 5 with added surnames attached.

Lovely little Daff by the way and well worth registering

Very nice, Lesley, and I wholeheartedly agree with naming bulb cultivars (be they daffs, snowdrops, crocus or whatever) because they're healthy, strong growing and fast-increasing, even if they're not a million miles away from previously named cultivars (especially if those earlier ones are less strong growing and/or slow to increase).

I put your picture on my facebook site
and the first reactions are very positive

Just lovely, Lesley.  Vigour is everything really and to have a good-lookig flower that offers to grow so well is super .

Lovely plant Lesley

[Lesley Cox]

Thank you everyone. As it starts to flower it is about 10cms high and when well on in its season is maybe 15cms. This year for the first time I had seed from it which I'll sow because I DO. The results could be anything at all as the pot of this one was one of many pots of daffs and other bulbs ready for moving, so the possibilities of crossing from another small daff are quite high I should imagine. Time will tell.

  I wish there was a 'jumping up and down with excitement' emoticon. Many thanks, Lesley, it will be treasured. It looks like a cracker.

'Fairy Gold' is very pretty. I didn't know it until this thread. Good to see the flowers.
