2019 Miniature Daffodil Schedule Definition: A miniature daffodil is a flower named on the approved miniature list or one

that the judges consider suitable for inclusion as a miniature daffodil. This includes all

miniatures listed by Glenbrook Bulb Farm and those registered by other Tasmanian

hybridisers.

Guidelines: A miniature daffodil, (cultivar or species) is one that consistently grows

with reduced stature, has miniature flowers and correspondingly smaller foliage. For

example; N. cyclamineus Div 13; N. dubius Div 13; N. fernandesii Div 13;

Canaliculatis Div 8W-Y; Flomay Div 7W-WWP; Hawera Div 5Y-Y; Angel’s Whisper

Div 5Y-Y.

The international standard is that miniature flowers will measure less than 50mm in

diameter.

All miniatures can be coded according to corresponding standard division, trumpet,

large cup, double, etc., but exhibitors and stewards may need to check the ADS list for

correct coding. This list will be available from the Show Secretary for your perusal.

All miniature exhibits should be coded for colour and division, eg. Hawera 5Y-Y,

Mitimoto 10W-Y. Failure to name and colour code your exhibit may exclude your entry

from being chosen Grand Champion.

Exhibitors should be aware that some catalogues will name regular Div 6 cultivars as

“miniature” when in fact they are too big. Flowers such as Jetfire and Jenny are standard

Div 6 daffodils and best described as ‘rockery’ or small garden daffodils. Some

miniatures have been deleted from the official list as they consistently grow larger than

50mm. A list will be available from the show secretary.

Miniature daffodils are best exhibited in small containers appropriate to their

diminutive size.

Miniatures may only be shown in Miniature Classes.
