For a bulb man like me this is a bit of a strange sounding name, the term 'Parrot' or parakeet is in my experience more connected to the Tulips with the parrot flowers. But if you look closely at the graceful flowers of this small Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot' is a good name; she crumples, she ruffles, she flops and she flutters, she is simply nice and playful.
Yellow Parrot is also a really special Narcissus because until now this graceful split-crowned flower shape was only reserved for the larger Narcissi. She is actually the very first miniature Narcissus with this flower shape. Perhaps the Narcissus Wodka comes a bit close to her but that is just a tad bigger. And it seems that there is an Itsy Bitsy Splitsy in America that looks exactly like her, but so far I only know that one from photos and I think that this Yellow Parrot is a lot more graceful.
Yellow Parrot originally came from our own breeding and I am very happy that she ended up in good hands with a passionate flower bulb grower in Breezand who raised her with love.
Yellow Parrot is a unique Narcissus; richly flowering, perfect as a pot narcissus but also in the garden a sturdy and bold Narcissus. Actually she is a kind of split-crowned Tete a Tete although she does bloom a few weeks later than the Tete a Tete but with considerably more flowers.

Daffodil bulbs
I hear you think now, there is Carlos again with his Daffodils, isn’t he a little bit too much in love with Daffodil. Yes, I am, no problem to admit that but I really think the Daffodil is one of the most reliable bulbs.
Planting Daffodils:
Daffodils are planted in the fall (when the leaves fall from the trees), because they bloom in the spring. Make sure you plant them before the frost.
Before planting, loosen the soil well and mix in a special fertilizer for flower bulbs. Dig a trench a few centimetres deep, keeping a distance of about 5 to 10 centimetres between the bulbs to prevent overcrowding. Place the bulbs point-side up and press them firmly into the soil. Water them lightly immediately after planting, and continue to water regularly. Finally, make sure the soil is well-drained, as daffodils do not tolerate overly wet conditions.
Caring for daffodils
After flowering, you should cut off the withered flowers so that all the energy goes to the bulb. The bulb can then provide extra beautiful flowers in the following growing season. In this way, you ensure that you can enjoy your daffodils for years to come.
