Walter Blom

Bell Fly is a recent posthumous introduction from Walter Blom, and what a high-spirited cyclamineus it is. Dare we say that it is broader, longer and more zippy than daffodil Iwona that we love so much ? Not pink, but orange cupped. An early dwarf, vigorous. We are unable to determine the origin of the name. Limited stock.

A very small, all golden yellow Bulbocodium from Walter Blom.

This bulbocodium has very long petals, soft color and a bit of the petunia shape in the cup that is sought after by breeders and benchers. Extended stamens and stigma. Not registered.

This remarkable and newly registered seedling from Mr Blom reliably throws two scapes: the primary flower is a very balanced and well formed split cup, the secondary bloom a large cup. Cup and Saucer is a unique dwarf with lovely fruit-sweet color. Sunproof. Show judges may need to be on the watch for this one.

You won't get a good enough seat in the Dress Circle to see Golden Symphony: she is poised, petite, pendant and perfumed. Part jonquilla thus the fragrance. From the prince of pizzicato Walter Blom. We assume that you can put this on the bench as a miniature. Will sell with allegro con brio.

A colorful silver and gold jonquil, Oma seems a little more compact and bright than Edged in Gold and New Baby, although I have yet to compare them side by side. Newer release: this daffodil is not registered.

The bulbocodium you will most likely find today in the commercial trade, Oxford Gold was widely adopted by large growers soon after its introduction,
Fulfills the copy editor's demand " I told you I wanted short and punchy."
A robust grower with an upright habit and full on chrome yellow color. Perhaps Oxford gets its virility and fragrance from its species Jonquil pollen parent. Probably not a miniature, makes a large bloom and plant for a 10.

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.

Generate some garden power with this little trumpet that emulates a wind turbine. All white, fragrant, sunproof, windproof. A big planting will output a lot of spring electricity. From Walter Blom.

A seductive and glamorous miniature cyclamineus seedling from Walter Blom.. Spring Petals looks like it arose from the moss lining a mountain stream. Just a handful to offer. Fragrant.

A sharp-elbowed miniature trumpet, Sugared Fruit is descended from Gipsy Queen. Crystalline form and confectioner's sugar-white blooms. Delectable. From Walter Blom.

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.
