We are pleased to list this miniature white pink cupped tazetta by Harold Koopowitz. Little Dianne is unique and feminine, full of color, fine form, detail and fragrance. Makes you loath to leave the ranch in springtime. Limited stock

Little Rusky is a really, really little Jonquil. Like the other bigger Ruskies we know, he is intense and rewards with painstaking attention to detail. When you catch a flash of the green eye, you too will understand. Handsome as the Tsar in form and

Daffodil Mary Plumstead is an Alex Gray Triandrus Jonquilla cross. 2 to 5 blooms. ADS Classic

A diminutive and spirited fellow, Medway Gold punches well above his weight. A modern cultivar, a cross of species assoanus and Gipsy Queen Medway is a jonquil that sports a starry perianth and a deep cup. Smells good. Way cute. We find it to be a nearly perfect cultivar; it is also a trumpet. ADS miniature.
6 Y-Y
Minicycla Group, a very old N.cylcamineus x N.asturiensis cross. Pollen and pod fertile. Not a species, but only a single step away on both sides. Best of both worlds. Beyond charming.
7 Y-Y
A feisty little filly, Miss Klein is a jonquil hybrid, likely from Rupicola. Impossibly small bulbs make a vigorous plant, with often three ( four ?) blooms per stem. On the mini end of miniature she is a good one to have for the rock garden or cutting.
8 Y-Y
Vigorous and consistent, Pacific Coast is a modern tazetta that stands out from the rest. Easy and bright with lots of perfectly formed flowers. A sport of Minnow, Pacific Coast is tall but not rangy, better organized and more substantial. ADS Miniature.
7 Y-Y
A little late 20th century Apodanthi x Apodanthi cross, Pequenita is a miniature, well-formed jonquil that grows well and is notably tidy and consistent : a natural show flower. Early. ADS Miniature.
1 Y-Y
A selection of species Asturiensis. Section pseudonarcissus. A primordial being with a formidable will to live. A tiny daffodil, so early, with purity in color and form. As this is a selection of a species, Carlos has named it Piccolini to differ
7 Y-Y
A species on species jonquil cross by Grant Mitsch that is upright and fabulous in the garden. Pixie's Sis has been around for a long while, but has suffered some major career setbacks through no fault of her own. We are lucky to have a few to offer as she makes her way back to a full recovery. A truly great jonquil for the bench and garden, North and South1. ADS Miniature.

Rikki don't loose that number, send it off in a letter to yourself. A miniature rupicola x poeticus from Alex Gray , with a deeper yellow color in the cup than Sundisc or Segovia. A bright, contrasty, and happy little jonquilla bloomer. ADS miniature. ADS Classic.
5 Y-Y
A tiny, greenish yellow triandrus that is so wasp-waisted it looks like one half of an English Christmas cracker. Gets its sweet fragrance from its daddy, the jonquil henriquesii. ADS Miniature from Walter Blom.
1 Y-Y
Roundita is like the student who perennially gets a desk in the front row. Named as such because she is so round all over, also a trumpet and a miniature. Behaves like a larger cousin : one scape, one bloom per bulb. Such a vigorous grower she will be voted most likely to succeed. Good in the pot, and and amenable playmate in the rockery.
6 W-W
Snipe is early and photogenic. Extremely perennial and cyclamineus proud. A truly great cultivar that is at home in the rockery and in the pot. We are offering it in the cut flower category, its blooms are too small to cut, but forced in a pot it is long lasting and adorable : we think the florists will know how to use it.
Not to be confused with the 6 W-Y cyclamineus « Jack Snipe », who is nice , but by comparison is lacking in charisma.
7 Y-Y
Stocken is thought to be an older selection of N.willkommii. Precious little thing. ADS Miniature.
7 Y-Y
On points alone, Alec Gray's Sun Disc is a perfect cultivar : Extremely late, rounded, miniature, long stemmed, long lasting, increases, looks right at you and smells good. Widely available, but we list it because you just need a few to get going. Sells on the cut market when all of the other daffs are long in the tooth.

Many breeders are in search of burn-proof small cups. If you have such a delicate and beautiful flower as Three of Diamonds you can avoid all that by plucking it early. An early seedling from Ms. Gripshover.

Tuckeri ia one of the rarest things that we have ever listed. A naturally occurring intersectional hybrid, it has been listed as a cross between N. hedraeanthus and N. fernandesii. But our Spanish friends say it is a cross between fernandesii and N.blancoi :
N. hedraeanthus is an endemism of the Cazorla Segura Mountains and the Villas. Remarkably different in size and shape. Besides, it's made of calcium soil and higher altitude. The N. Blancoi on the other hand is Sierra Morena endemism, acidic soil and doesn't require so much altitude. Larger in size and other morphology. I invite you to look in our publications both and compare them carefully. One more reason: Fernandesii is not in Hedraeanthus zones at all..
