Crosses of viridiflorus hybrids like Emerald Sea with the diploid N. cantabricus from Spain near Puertollano are easy to realize and grow well in my greenhouse. The bulbs multiplicate better than crosses of N. triandrus pallidulus with Emerald Sea. The progeny flowers in autumn and winter and has an intense and pleasant scent. Some plants are fertile with unreduced pollen. I shall try to find out in this year how the seedlings behave, if they are grown outdoors in the Netherlands.

Very interesting cross – just in between the parents! My plain cantabricus and some bulbocodiums s.l. are very early this year.
