Qdaffs is dedicated to offer the lengthiest list of species narcissus to our horticulturally minded friends. We do expect that we will be accused of cultural appropriation by our fiercely partisan Spaniard friends. Oh well, valuable little buggers, but itís not the Elgin marbles that we are slipping out of Iberia.

N. dubius var. dubius, section Tazetta
Dubius is an important tazetta section species daffodil occuring in Spain. Spectacular detail, pure white with a miniature form. Dubius sprouts early, requires little cold and needs substantial protection in colder zones.
Our selection of dubius is not the most beautiful that you can find. But most dubius make no offsets: one bulbs is created as the mother bulb dies. Our selection is one that reliably makes offsets, which will be of value to those interested in breeding.
Pollen and seed fertile.

N. x medioluteus is a naturally occurring intersectional hybrid between N. poeticus and N. tazetta, perhaps being among the first of the poetaz grouping. Medioluteus is commonly found naturalized in the American South: East Texas, Louisiana, Georgia... the Twin Sisters or Cemetery Ladies of southern daffodil culture fame.

A species, section pseudonarcissus , a wild flower of great beauty and great form, Moschatus occurs in the Pyrenees. Inflexed petals and deeply ribbed trumpet appear to be sculpted from marble. Projecting opulence and restfulness she is In our top ten list of most beautiful flowers, regardless of genus.
Even though she is slow to increase Moschatus is loved world round. While she is a feral and persistant creature in the south do not take it personally if she does not return for you. Many before you have felt the love and then the pang of rejection from Moschatus. Synonyms include Nellies, Swan's Neck and Cernum.

Pumilus N. minor var. pumilus , section pseudonarcissus. A feral and thrilling thing, structured and free. A progenitor of the modern "Golden Trumpet" that today line our bi-ways, back roads, boundaries of long neglected kitchen gardens. Species daffodils were low and small, it was human fingers that unlocked the genome to make large landscaping plants.

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.

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..

N.willkommii Section Jonquilla A lovely and refreshing thing, we like to think that Ferdinand the Bull was put out to pasture in a field of Willkommii under the cork trees in Spain. Endemic to Spain and southern Portugal.
