N. cavanillesii flowered three days after a heavy rain in southern Spain. Today, one month later I earned the seeds in the picture. The different pollen parents influence the size of the seed grains. The cross N. cavanillesii x N. serotinus can be found in the wild. Successful crosses with tetraploid standard daffodils are possible. The seedlings should be fertile because N. cavanillesii is also tetraploid.

Theo,
Very interesting – I had never thought that the pollen parent influenced the size of the seed – just that the influence came out in the progeny. We learn a little every day. Thanks for info – I’ll be observing in future.
Best regards.
