Thankyou Alberto,
 but I don't rate myself so highly, I know of many better bulb growers than
myself, though the diversity of what I attempt to grow is larger than for
most.
Apart from not wanting to loose them, I don't worry too much about virused
plants which die quickly. N Tete a Tete doesn't die -it carries on growing
and remains a source of infection for other daffodils which do die. It is a
lovely plant and it is good to hear that there is clean stock being
produced.
