    Narcissus Rupicola opened up this morning, this is her actual size. Just wondering if there are any other miniature daffs and how small you could get?

    I was intrigued by this, it's minute! Where did you find it?
    I found this site, and it seems to be about the smallest on there:

    Fortunately I can't buy any till next year! [​IMG]
    Any more pictures of it?

    Not as small as yours Waco but I snapped these at work the other day. Barely taller than the crocus. No idea of the var. though, could be quite old :(

    Liz this is the species page of your link
    http://www.miniaturebulbs.co.uk/ms.htm it is shown here as S15 and has a good photo, mine has much bluer leaver.

    The above daffs frogesque are very small and have that same blue leaf colour.

    There are some very small ones at the Savill Gardens - can't remember their names, but will try to find out. Somehow managed not to see your post before this, Waco!! D'uh! So I've been searching and ended up with what both of you had alrady found!!The Savill Gardens site was no use at all - but if you hapen to go there in late april, they hand you a leaflet about them, as the highlights to look out for - of course I can't find mine!!
