Help with Dutch and Spanish translations

by  •  • 8 Comments

Hello everybody,

I am finishing a daffodil-related website, and need help with Dutch and Spanish translations.

The work is done, but must be checked by knowledgeable enthusiasts.

Als je Nederlands spreekt, ga dan naar daffodils.com en klik op de e-maillink om me een bericht te sturen. Dit duurt een paar uur, maar er wacht je een aangename verrassing!

Si habla español, visite daffodils.com y haga clic en el enlace del correo electrónico para enviarme un mensaje. Esto llevará un par de horas, ¡pero le espera una agradable sorpresa!

  2. Mr. Adams, that part has been handled.

    However, I would love to discuss daffodils with extra petals with you. It’s such an interesting topic, but not much information is available. I am aware that you know all about it.

  3. Good morning Matt,

    This is all I know about narcissus with extra petals. It is a little like the finding of N cyclamineus or the introduction of Division 11. The purists don’t like to admit that there might be something new and unique and beyond their mind set.

    My first introduction to this characteristic was the cultivar ‘Ngaire Rogers.’ Named for the Alpine gardening specialist who raised it. Here is a photo of the cultivar flowering today with 7, 8, 9 and 10 petals.

    Regards
    Dave

  4. My computer skills have stuffed this up a bit. This is a previous photo of ‘Ngaire Rogers.’

    Larry Force has raised a number of cultivars showing this characteristic. Here are a couple of photos of N pseudonarcissus in the wild. Obviously the extra petalled

    gene is somewhere hidden in the species. Therefore the new cultivars must be accepted as naturally occurring. Therefore we should expect to see Division 14 Propeller Daffodils introduced.

    Kind regards,
    Dave

  5. See, I love this kind of thing. And that raises so many more questions!

    Occasionally we see extra petals in ordinary varieties, but it’s always fleeting.

    And you are correct — most enthusiasts are totally uninterested, or worse.

    I hope the work continues on these. I want some!

    Thanks for your reply.

    – Matt

  8. Matt,
    I do not have your address. Please look up Templeton Daffodils on Google. You will find a copy of our price list there and a couple of profiles about me. Others may be interested to read these too
