I'm starting to think about collecting seed for the coming exchanges and have been looking at the early daffodils in my bulb lawn. They originate with a few bulbs purchased from the Dutch exporter then operating as Hoog & Dix, under the name Narcissus obvallaris. As often with Narcissus, the nomenclature is quite confusing, so I don't know how to identify the seed. 



	Not an expert at all, but I got some of these from Hoog years ago hoping they would be able to self sow in my harsh climate garden. They were given the name obvallaris and the web equated that with ‘The Tenby Daffodil’.  Years later they are still here and they do self sow around, but I have fewer each year. I guess I better collect some seeds, grow a few to make sure they persist. 

	It is a small plant and flower, but has that ‘wild’ look to it.		N o other daffs self sow here and I have dozens of cvs.

	Can you recommend a good VERY hardy narc that might self sow in my harsh climate (It was 16 overnight a day ago, snowing now and forecast for 70 by SWed. Crazy climate) Thanks		Jim W.
