I love these,Minnow

They are nice minis---I had them at one time.
They fit in rock gardens nicely.

Someone asked how small the bloom was.Its smaller than the cup of a daff.

I think minnow must force well in pots because that is the type I see for sale in pots. Or maybe they just look good in a pot because they do not flop like the larger daffs.

Thalia is the name of my smallest , but it is not yet blooming

I have that too.I realized this year not all daffs are early.
The tiny ones in pots here are Baby Moons I think.

Some of the smallest daffodils I've noted of late are in the 3 to 4" range like Midget (div 1), Yellow Pearl, Chit Chat, Little Oliver, & 'wateri' ( all div 7 jonquilla), and N. willkommil (div 13).

do you grow any off them?

Tried to force 'wateri' , but failed...
I have forced Pacific Coast before (div 8 Tazetta), it's the all yellow form of N. Minnow and can be 5 to 6" tall. It is probably shortest one I've successfully grown.

I found 'Mortie ' and 'Ferdie ' very small....but I know there are many smaller ones! -in the Tazetta and cyclamenius range! Have both 'Wateri and Xit'.... very small

Baby Moon

Here it is September and I am planting more mini daffs.
I find the term mini misleading as sometimes it refers to the size of the blooms not the size of the plant.
I will be planting Rip Van Winkles



Rapture



Sun Disc

Way to go Jo Ann

ohhhh yes,Its gunna be great.

Yes, it will be great!
I am starting my bulb planting this weekend.

Me too. There are many places I missed last fall,now to look at spring photos so I dont plant on top of last years bulbs.

I think "miniature" are generally considered to be 10 inches or less, so you get Baby Moon as well as the 8-9" Sun Disc, Pueblo, etc. in that class. The really itty bitty ones are charming. I like that species with the hoop-skirt faerie blooms -- bulbicodium, I think?

oooh, look what I found... ADS slideshow of minis... http://www.daffodilusa.org/pdf...

thanks for the link.

Daffseek.com, is the site Jo Ann.. tells you what IS, Was,Isnt, miniature..background breeding ,breeders, years etc.. best site for daffs in the world

Thanks Tony: I dont go into the breeding and medal winners etc.when it comes to any plant ,just shallow I guess.
I do like the minies in clumps around emerging lilies.
I also like the white varieties best and have both yellow and white ones.
