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.

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.
3W-GYY                  $5 each

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.
3W-GYO                 $5 each

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.
2W-Y                      $3 each

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.
3W-GGY                $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.
3W-GYY                $18 each
