Amadeus x Assertion
New seedlings from standard daffodils x N. assoanus/N. gaditanus are flowering
Ice Chimes x Fairy Chimes (tetraploid)
Four seedlings of this cross are flowering. Three of them, also the two in the pictures, have about 10% pollen fertility. I think they are tetraploid with the chromosome constitution NJTrTr. Theo
