Hello Dave,
Thank you very much for your information. I've posted photos of mine, and
another hybrid of mine, 'Jim Lad' for you to see.
I wasn't sure whether it was acceptable to name a plant which looks so close
to another named clone. I will name mine now. It is a good strong grower
(though I grow all my little daffs in pots plunged in sand in an unheated
alpine house so it hasn't been grown outside - our slugs are too voracious),
and increases by offsets and also very easily by twin-scaling.
Hope you like it!
Regards,
Anne

From what I understand, this clone no longer exists -- certainly with its
introducer.  I used to have some bulbs of this and made crosses with it over
30
years ago.

I'm not certain I understand your need to have 'Tiny Tot' in hand before
deciding to name and register your own seedling.  Often, seedlings from the
same
cross made by different hybridizers are named.  I should say, however, that
often those seedling/s may not be better than or even equal to the original.
That shouldn't stop you if your seedling has good form and substance and is
a
good grower (which, often, many little daffodil hybrids are not).  Go ahead
with
your intention.  It would be nice if you could obtain a digifoto to post to
the listserv so we can all see your creation!

Best,
