Breath of Spring

“Your smile is like a Breath of Spring,” Dolly Parton sings in her famous country song “Jolene,” in which she fears that Jolene is running away with her boyfriend.

Nice name for a Narcissus I thought when I heard the song on the radio on my way there. But, I immediately thought, that will never work. There are now almost 30,000 Narcissus registered and it is of course 100% certain that this beautiful name has already been assigned to another Narcissus. When I got home I took a look at Daffseek and what do you think, the name Breath of Spring has never been used for a Narcissus. I immediately requested it for one of my most beautiful yellow trumpet Narcissus.

The name Breath of Spring suits this Narcissus like no other, her exciting play of colours of many yellow shades is truly a refreshing breath of spring. Thanks to all Narcissus breeders for keeping this beautiful name for this beautiful Narcissus.

A Narcissus by the way that we have very high expectations of, she is not only candy for the eye, our grower Jan Hein is also crazy about her. For the flower bulb grower she is the ideal Narcissus says Jan Hein.

Breath of Spring grows well, has no ailments and makes incredibly beautiful bulbs in short; the ideal Narcissus for cultivation. She has also already been noticed by a few larger American mail order companies so if we are lucky we will provide a breath of spring in many gardens in the future.
