White Petals, Yellow Cup Or Rimmed Yellow
Mid Season
| Atholl Palace--Good garden doubles
need that rare combination of strong stems to hold the
flowers erect during rainy weather and buds that open
reliably despite an early spring hot spell. You may have
noticed very few double daffodils are included in this
list. Atholl Palace was the first specialty variety I had
enough stock of to sell that I believed had these
attributes. I guess I should also mention its beautiful
full flower of numerous white petals backing the bunched
center of yellow petaloids. From Brian Duncan of Northern
Ireland, 1989. 4W-Y. $ 6 each |

| Ardress - Not flashy, but oh
so rock steady! The many, many blooms first open with
creamy white petals and a pale yellow cup, but age slowly
and without any loss of quality during the next three(!)
weeks to a whiter perianth and an even more contrasting
deeper yellow corona. From Brian Duncan of Northern
Ireland, 1982. 2W-GYY. $ 4 each |

Parterre - This flower rarely gets a glance from the show
judges, but it is such an entertaining and reliable garden daffodil! Wonderful
long lasting color, with white petals flaring backwards and a lemon yellow nose.
This is a plant victimized by classification restrictions. It has beautiful form
and color, but both the plant and flower are too large for anyone to believe it
has cyclamineus heritage. So it has been anointed as a large cup, and here its
delightful look is viewed as a fault. I don't believe gardeners really worry
about such things! From Tom Bloomer of Northern Ireland, 1983.

Cyros - Many have an aversion toward cultivars with
conspicuously pointed petals like Cyros. In twenty years pointed petals will
probably be all the rage. The hallmarks of this flower are its consistency of
form and the striking contrast of the bright clean white background for the
glowing deep lemon-yellow trumpet. Very long lasting in the garden too. From
William Jackson, Jr. of Tasmania, 1966.

White Petals, Yellow Cup Or Rimmed Yellow
Late Season
Vernal Prince - A gorgeous late season flower, and a very worthy
garden plant. Large distinctive pear shaped bulbs produce rounded flowers with
overlapping petals of the purest white. The frilled, bowl shaped cup is a drop
of crème-de-menthe in the center of a pad of melting butter. Vigorous, stout and
highly recommended. From Tom Bloomer of Northern Ireland, 1982.

Lancaster - Pure white petals surround a small and tightly
crimped bright yellow saucer. Most arresting is the green eye glowing in the
center of the cup. Although the color code attached to it indicates an orange
rim, it rarely develops it in our climate. From Sir Frank Harrison of Ballydorn
Bulb Farm, Northern Ireland, 1977.

Clady Cottage - The beauty of simplicity and grace, the look of
frailty that belies its true inner strength—this is a Kate Reade daffodil, no
doubt about it. We list this variety for all of you who have requested something
newer that’s a little more old-fashioned looking. The slightly reflexed, pointed
white petals show a slight twist at the tip. The deep yellow funnel shaped cup
provides a startling color contrast. A clump in the garden or in a pot is
charming. Introduced by Carncairn Daffodils of Northern Ireland in 1987.

Grace Note - A truly beautiful daffodil. Again too late for
most local shows, yet its garden and cut flower attributes make it a must. The
heart of the yellow cup is flooded with a gorgeous green, and the edges of its
white petals curl inward a bit. From Grant Mitsch of the U.S.A., 1966.

$8 each
Final Curtain - An open-pollinated offspring of
‘Grace Note’ that has the same exquisite coloring, yet is larger in all aspects
and even later blooming (in fact, as its name implies, one of the very last
daffodils to flower). Like its mother, the petals open with a greenish cast but
soon go pure poeticus white. The small, ribbed, chrome yellow short cup has a
deep green heart. Mary Lou Gripshover staged a white ribbon winner (best vase of
three in the show) on Nantucket in 2006 that you just couldn’t take your eyes
off of. She registered this selection from her Ohio garden in 1995.
