  1. Theo,

    now this is a beauty, despite the snails.  Do you know what step you will next follow?  Assumedly, this will be a 28 chr. plant.  As I am new to Narcissus, I am full of questions.  How hardy are such crosses?

    Such as, is Actaea a tetraploid selection of N. poeticus, or is it a hybrid?  I noted in its decendants that only a few have gone into the second generation.  Infertility due to ploidy?  On the other hand, the triploid Jetfire has quite a few decendants.

    Do you find that N. viridiflorus dominates the blooming season in crosses?

    Actaea x N. viridiflorus ( Manuel Lima). The flower was attacked by snails and cut off for harvesting the pollen.
