9 comments for “Greenwich Show, x Odorus flore pleno”

  1. I’m sorry but 69 email in my inbox with pictures from shows.  That’s a lot of SPAM to have to delete before I can read my one message that I’m looking for.  I think we need another media to report show pictures that we can opt out of if we don’t want to receive them.

  2. I agree Clay.  I have in previous years not sent many photos from the shows.  People ask for them though.  Not sure what the solution would be.

  3. Since it’s a double, it should have been 4 Y-Y, since all doubles go into Div. 4.  The RHS has a bunch of entries for ‘Plenus’, but I don’t know which one would match up with this.

    I think Ben is working on a different format.  Since he is in Spain at the moment, can we hold our comments until he’s back, please?  Meantime, just use your delete button.

  5. There’s a very simple solution to finding the non-daffnet messages: set up multiple in-boxes, and set up a filter so that all the daffnet mail goes into the daffnet folder. Then you just look at your general in-box for the general mail, and look at the daffnet folder when that’s what you’re seeking. That’s how we do it at our house. Melissa

  6. Since the pictures usually come from one person, just select for that person and delete.

  7. Sorry Clay, but I have to agree with some others. Daffnet is for sharing daffodil information and through it we get to know many people we now consider friends. The show photos and show results are a major part of my enjoying the internet and particularly Daffnet. In my opposite view the rest of my e-mails are an intrusion on my enjoyment of daffodils. Keep the photos and results coming I say.
  8. Hi David,
    There is a lot of confusion over the double form of species and intersectional hybrids. Have a look in the Register under the name ‘Plenus.’
    The other problem is that the botanists do not recognise doubling of the species as being relevant. Hence the double jonquilla species is not recorded as a unique species.
    The photo you have shown does indeed appear to be the double form of x odorus. May be called x odorus plenus or the Double campernelle. This then gets confused by name with N odorus plenus a double form of a species trumpet as I remember it.
    In my garden I grow a two floretted double where the petalloids have the same scalloped margins as does x odorus or ‘Campernelle.’ I believe it to be N x odorus plenus (or flore pleno) or the ‘Double Campernelle.’
    Somebody needs to collect all these plenuses and sort it out for us all. Could be a good Masters thesis in Botany.

  9. If you go to the The Gardener’s Chronicle (May 11, 1884) Page 608 it lists the names of the double forms of the species. At that time double forms were listed in Catalogs as “Monstrosities”.  They are also listed in Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl Flowre, and hys Roots. A copy may be viewed on Daffseek. links.
