Double Daffodils

Twink is a hundred year old historic that shows all of the charm and free spirit of the older doubles. Flower can make three distinct layers of petals giving a bit of organization to the explosive show. Bright and beckoning. One of the best doubles for the South. Said to be high in galanthamine content in case you are brewing any pharmaceuticals at home.

When people first meet Waylon they remark about his bright amber color. Waylon is additionally a beefy double on a substantial scape, a good player in the vase mixed with tulips, leucojum and polyganatum. Makes a dramatic bandmate resulting in a very sunny ebullient border. Not sure how he will do in the judge's eye, but he does have great eye catching susbstance in the perianth-corona folds.

We have enjoyed this double for several years in a container and in the border. What a Feeling is a cross of a viridiflorus and the double daff Wave. Like other viridiflorus crosses it is durable with great substance exhibiting a will to bloom -- very much an improvement on Wave. At a glance it is reminiscent of White Lion but more baroque with a singular, soft color, We hope to see this cultivar succeed as a florist's favorite .

The only thing more free-spirited than the bloom on this cultivar is the thought processes of the person who named it. A loose coalition of petals in whisper-soft white and pink bloom out of the leaves on a sturdy scape: We are looking forward to pulling our Woo Woo from the cutting garden as a filler in Spring arrangements. Not sure how a Daffodil Judge can or will evaluate this flower.

There is some kind of farm girl beauty in smile of the scrunched-up, pink, and sun-kissed face of You're Beautiful. Not too formal, not ribald nor an exhibitionist , simply a nice pink double from Carlos van der Veek.
