White Petals, Yellow Cup Or Rimmed Yellow
Early Season
Phalarope - Very few daffodils I grow begin blooming as early
as this little flower does or last as long in the garden. Of true cyclamineus
form, with swept back milky white petals and a long downward-pointing flared
lemon yellow cup that truly reminds one of the long probing beak of the
sandpiper-like bird it is named for. A Grant Mitsch flower registered in 1982.

| Bravoure - Robust is the word for this powerful grower and
producer of flowers. The long cylindrical yellow trumpet has almost no roll at
the end, giving it more of a "stovepipe" appearance. I believe this and Actaea
are the only Dutch hybrids included in this list. From J.W.A. van der Wereld,
1974, and the Wister Award winner for 2002. 1W-Y $ 4 each |

Pinaroo - One year, back in the days when I was just fervently
collecting daffodils instead of supplying them, I weighted my fall orders with
varieties from the trumpet and long-cupped divisions that had white petals and
yellow cups after noticing there were too few really good ones around. When
spring arrived, Pinaroo’s obvious vigor and sharp color contrast attracted my
attention right away. The petals are very white, and the long trumpet-like cup
is a rich yellow. A wonderful garden and show flower from the Jacksons of
Tasmania, registered in 1993.

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. $ 5 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, 3/$10 |

Art in Bloom - A very nice bicolor trumpet bred in Holland that
mysteriously was only cataloged for one or two seasons by the suppliers of Dutch
grown bulbs to the U.S. It is tremendously stout in the garden, plus has the
form, substance, and midseason flowering period that make it a reliable show
flower. If the petals had a purer white color, this really would be a cultivar
to reckon with. J. Gerritsen was the breeder and the variety was finally
registered in 2000, the year after I last saw it offered to the American market.

Tater-Du - A peculiar little plant that should appeal greatly
to the rock gardening crowd. It obviously belongs in the triandrus section,
having several nodding flowers with reflexed petals on each stem. Yet, with its
sometimes slightly twisted white petals and very wide and ribbed bowl-shaped
yellow cup, it may not have the blue ribbon grace the Daffodil Show judges
expect from the division. For the gardener though, Tater-Du has three traits not
normally found with triandrus hybrids--ease of growth, rapid multiplication, and
an extremely floriferous nature. A 1994 registration from England’s Ron Scamp.

$ 6 each
| Segovia - I'm just starting to get good solid experience with
the miniatures, but from others who have grown lots of different ones for lots
of years, I've heard some varieties can be a real challenge to keep growing.
Segovia is not at all difficult though, and each show I attend usually has
numerous examples of this flower to see. The small 2" bloom has broad, white
petals and small yellow cup. A 10" plant suitable for the rock garden. From Mrs.
Alec Gray of England, 1962. 3W-Y $ 3 each, 3/$8 |

White Petals, Yellow Cup Or Rimmed Yellow
Late Season
| Montpier - Montpier inherits its seed parent
Angel’s great perianth. The petals open with a greenish cast before going pure
white a few days later, coinciding with an explosive growth spurt in their
length and width. Its bowl shaped small cup is overall a very light yellow, but
has deeper tones at both the base and rim. A tall, late-midseason show flower
bred by Mary Lou Gripshover of Ohio, and registered in 1997. 3W-Y $12 each, 3/$30 |

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.
