This is a diffuclt one, I bought the bulbs from a small nursery onine here which specialise in species bulbs, but they don't have it listed now although it comes up in a google.

On Pacific Bulb Society there is only Narcissus tazetta listed but showing some natural wild subspecies or forms.

The RHS has two places which offered this, one being miniaturebulbs where I got mine from, the other is a specialist grower which I know has been in the business for a long time and passed down through the family. They haven't got it listed now either, mine didn't live so I guess their's didn't do well but they do keep old varieties going and from what I have previously read they know their stuff.

THe RHS states the name is not found in literature, but they don't state the name is not accepted.

Daffseek has it listed as 'Odoratus' and is a tazetta species, it sounds to be the same one as the apricot scent and being found on the Isles of Scilly was mentioned in the description when I bought it. This is giving it a capital as though it is a named hybrid, which doesn't seem correct to me if it was 'found' on the Isles of Scilly ( a small group of islands off the south west tip of Cornwall England)

None of the photos look like mine, but I feel the suppliers do offer correctly named bulbs.

The flowers were very small but the stem grew fairly tall..

I've decided to ask for an entry for Narcissus tazetta var. odoratus, the RHS does have it listed and doesn't say it's not accepted.

Im sure i've seen it here, but i will do my best to find out from a renowned miniature breeder,.,.in a few weeks

Thanks Anthony, as it was found here originally and there's people who have passed on what they know through generations in the business I would say it's a fair bet. Breeders of these rarer bulbs are sure to share their knowledge worldwide too! There's some people in the business here who are very savvy.

A named 'cultivar' has a capital letter as they use on daffseek, but this is not a cultivar, it's a variety of the species.

According to the'yoda' of miniature daffodils,definately not 'Narcissus tazetta var odoratus', .[which he drew a fine freehand sketch of] but all is not lost,.,.what you might have is 'Narcissus Odorus Rugulosus'[campernelle]. which he gave a full description of,.,.So i even learned something as well-Anthony

Well I searched for that Anthony, I very much doubt it. Broadleigh bulbs have it and it's totally different! Many people here who have these nurseries are real plants people, often with horticultural qualifications.

Sorry, but I do trust the people who sold it to have it correctly named.

Yes! looks like he may be wrong,..,but i think you will find his qualifications worldwide,.,.anyway,sorry!

That's OK, I always make sure myself anyway and I appreciate anyone's input.

And your Tas Devil big growling face with gimongous teeth hasn't scared me one little bit! He (or she) is quite cute.
