Early Daffodills and now

We bought some hundred Quail. Now they are over, but from 15 5 was infected with a kind of virus disease. All Muscari (armeniacum 'Fantasy Creation', armeniacum 'Blue Spike', aucheri 'Blue Magic', aucheri 'Mount Hood', armeniacum 'Valerie Finnes') are considered infected, cause there are stripes on the foliage. All of my Allium rosenbachianum are also infected...

Nice pictures!

  Hi Jim,

  I just recently added 'Quail' (Div 7) and 'Gigantic Star' (Div 2) to the wiki, and 
  updated 'Ceylon' (Div 2) with new pictures.  I had a new one, at least new to me, 
  bloom for me this week named 'Golden Echo' (Div 7) that I think is awesome.

  Here are the links:

   I think there's a number of other good 'early' daffodils. I
  have one called "Early to Rise' that's a full size cup and 'Quail' is
  sometimes early (not this year - barely started to show color).
  Surely we have some daffodil-istas who can name a few reliable early
  cvs. (Dave K?).

   Like so many plant groups, it is a good idea to select early
  and late blooming cultivars to spread out the season. There's always
  a few at both extremes that can give you 5 or 6 weeks of flowers
  instead of one or two.

   Two worth mentioning that are giving a good show right now are

   'Ceylon' a Div 2 with lemony petals contrasting nicely a
  cheery orange cup.

   'Gigantic Star' (Div 1?) (With this name it ought to be) said
  to be one of the largest cvs to 22 inches and 4 inch flowers. Not
  quite that here, but still impressively large, vigorous and
  floriferous. Solid yellow flowers in mass.
