Mini pink jonquil

There are not too many miniature pink jonquils. This one is from
Weary Dearie open pollinated (but probably N. dubius). On its maiden
flowering it produced two spikes with 5 and 6 florets respectively.
Individual florets are 24 mm across. A sibling just opening appears
to have better perianth shape and substance but the pink is very
pale, maybe it will darken. Sibling also bears two spikes. Cross was
made and planted in 2007.

  1. What a pretty little thing it is – wish it were mine! Ethel Smith in
    MN where we’ve finally got a little bit of snow cover – better late
    than never!
