Thanks for sharing Fermi. I didn't know split cups existed. Something to look out for

Cheers

Hi David,
I suspect that earlier examples of split cups would have been discarded as aberrant forms and not worth keeping.
At some stage a daffodil breeder must have been able to convince others that they were simply another expression of daffodilness
Some people are still repulsed by them - they are not everyone's cup of tea

Narcissus 'Geranium' is an oddly named tazetta which did brilliantly for a few years before being decimated by the green phytoplasma disease.
These few are the remnants which are slowly coming back to flowering size

Narcissus 7WP 'Quickstep' x N. fernandesi a hybrid I got from Ian Dyson who was a leader in our local Victorian Daffodil Society.
The flowers open yellow and mature to white petals and pale cups which are supposedly pink!

Caroline Davies just posted a pic of her Narcissus rupicola ssp watierii on Instagram.
I have the hybrid 'Xit' raised by Alec Gray, the famous daffodil breeder in the UK in the 1940s.
It's a sweet little white daff - I think the hybrid may just be a bit taller,

Both very desirable 😊

Two similar bit very pretty hybrid jonquils:
Narcissus 'Bahama Beach'
Narcissus 'Gazelle'

Love 'Gazelle' - have one similar - only ever produces  one or two flowers but well worth waiting for.

Yes, I'm coming to appreciate this type as they flower later than a lot of the others. Their graceful appearance is an added bonus,

Another similar daffodil is called 'Yazquil' from Lawrence Trevanion,

These are two of a hybrid group raised by Paul Rumkoff who moved a couple of years ago to Western Australia and was disposing of most of his stock,
