A chatty and vivacious jonquil. Sabrosa is a delicious cross between the two species N.rupicola and N.jonquilla. A star player in the container and rock garden Sabrosa is petite and late, an ADS Miniature.

Snellebel Blom Cyclaminedus

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†ª, who is nice , but by comparison is lacking in charisma.

Spoirot is a Bulbicodium from Tasmania that develops a clear, white color with some contrasting green in the tube. Seed fertile, several descendants. Name is an Agatha Christie reference - HerculeS Poirot,

Another spirited miniature from Mr, Duncan arising from a feral mashup of N.cyclamineus and N.assoanus. A joyful and substantive little thing.

Alex Gray was one of the most prolific breeder of daffodils of the mid 20th century. Of his many tiny Jonquils seedlings I like his Stafford the most for its bright color scheme. Take two, they are small. ADS miniature.

Stocken is thought to be an older selection of N.willkommii. Precious little thing. ADS Miniature.

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.

N. pachybolbus, section Tazettae
One of the few species that also makes a first rate garden daffodil. Perfection in a small package. Everything you could want in a companion: petite, perfume quality scent, brilliant white color, with a bright serene countenance. Yes, the letters o and u in the name were reversed once upon a time and we are stuck with the misspelling.

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.

Like other division 12's Tiny Bubbles makes a lot of blooms per scape, but blooms perhaps more well-formed and elegant than the others. Tiny Bubbles is often found on the bench, particularly as a team player in miniature and other collections. Astounding planted in large numbers in the informal garden. A modern classic from the gentleman of southern daffodil culture Brent Heath.

A new Yellow Bulbicodium from Keira bulbs

Miniature Trumpets sometimes struggle with substance, no so with the lovely Trousdale from the late Mr. Blom. Just brushes up against the the size limit as to what can be called a miniature.

Tuckeri is 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..
Inas De Bellard Pecchio

Upright presence and charm in a small package of a trumpet from Mr. Duncan. An ADS miniature this is an older registration and new to us, from Candlepower.

When wild things occur in the nursery you could get a floriferous little tazetta with translucent shellfish-pink cups. How are you going to keep them down on the farm when they have seen this one? Wildly Romantic in so many ways, nearly overlooked, Wild Romance is a Soprano x dubius cross from Gamemaster Duncan.

A beautiful bloom named after a hummingbird by Grant Mitsch. Woodstar is a late blooming reverse bi-color triandrus and the fledgling of two feral parents - N. triandrus subsp. triandrus var. Triandrus and N.jonquilla. Woodstar seems to

Alec Gray bred a lot of terrific miniature small cups : Segovia, Sundisc ; This Daffodil on DaffSeek but Xit has always caught our eye. White blossoms make a cumulus cloud-like display. Exciting in the bed and on the bench, there is a lot of joy to go around. Grows well and can make a tall stem. One of the very best in Narcissusdom.

Like one of our favorites, the miniature and spirited daff Xit, Yellow Xit is just as jubilant as its parent, but as you may surmise it has yellow in the corona. ADS Miniature. Not sure why this does not appear to be an ADS classic.
