Several people mentioned 'Quail' as an early daffodil. A couple of years ago I bought a large number of these (Dutch-grown) for the garden, then read that the stock was likely infected with a virus. Sure enough, when they came up, they were streaked and distorted, so I dug them up and disposed of them. This year I also noticed some faint, pale streaking on foliage of Narcissus alpestris (also known as N. moschatus), a species that has always been difficult here (and elsewhere). I wonder if it's particularly susceptible to Narcissus viruses. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
