We are guessing that this newer seedling from John Hunter is a viridiflora and triandrus cross. Like Polar Hunter and other spring fall viridiflora crosses Hunter Morn is early to break ground, durable and long lasting. Two to four blooms per scape.
2 W-R
Hyperbole proclaims its superiority by sporting broad swept back rounded whites petals and an intense red megaphone cup. Hyperbole should be in your competition arsenal. A Brian Duncan daffodil cultivar of great dramatic poise.
1 W-W
In Love, a new entry in the the van der Veek "Love" series, is a full on all-white trumpet with a perfect and cupped perianth. Like other trumpets and large cups from van der Veek this seedling is vigorous with a sturdy stem.
3 W-GYY
A rounded White -Yellow small cup that can make a large, flat bloom. Jammin is fertile both ways.
3 Y-R
Jenna, a small cup Yellow/Red is a show-worthy daff from Clive Postles. Small numbers available.
11b W-P/W
Everyone wants a date with Jodi when they see her, few will get her number. If she looks delicate and retiring it is because she is. A delicate pink split cup from the Cupid's arrow of Brian Duncan. We have just a few to offer again this year. Limit two per order please.
3 W-YYR
When the laundress sees the red lipstick on the collar of your starched white button-down she will know that you too have been Juliet's Choice. Just a handful of bulbs available.

Like other Veek Trumpets and Large Cups Just for You is a vigorous plant of poise and stature. Gold all over, the perianth is a bit ribby for the judges, but I would not hesitate to show it.
2 W-P
Broad white petaled pink cup, Fragrant Rose on steroids, and even better for the bench for it.
3 W-GYR
Kaylee Ann is so cute and bright-faced she is easily worth twice the price. Flawless blooms are easy in spite of that buzzsaw edged cup.
4 W-Y
A very beefy White and Yellow Double daffodil from New Zealand. First perianth row is double triangle shaped. Kiwi Magic opens with a bright yellow corona and matures to a softer cream.Just a handful in stock.
2 W-W
All white La Delicatesse is a well-named large cup. Refined and elegant the frilled trumpet makes you look twice, and then again. A balance of detail and form, a superior cultivar all around. La Délicatesse is a proven winner on the show bench. Four inch flowers bloom above the foliage. the leaves.
2 W-P
Smooth and rounded swell pink large cup. Ladymeade's intense color comes from her being a part of the Dailmanach Dynasty.
2 W-P
The much sought after Lavender Hope is back again this year, in slightly larger numbers. Another member of the house of Dailmanach, this time via Dr. John Reed.
3 Y-Y
The thing the most unlike an all-yellow trumpet daffodil is an all-yellow small cupped daffodil. Somehow it is in the color -- think Arona, Hollowbridge, Lemon Choice. Not a sour choice at all.
11a W-P
Pucker up for this unusual split cup. White with a wild and wavy lobed pink corona. Recent introduction from Carlos van der Veek.
7 W-Y
Lieke was not on our radar until multiple southern customers sang its praises: good in the deep south, upright, floriferous, and increasing. A seedling from Brent Heath this flower bounced around North Holland for a bit before it found a patron and a name. A great landscape daffodil, the fact that it can bloom in the leaves a bit actually increases it stately presence and charm. Two to commonly three blooms per scape, a late bloomer.

When you need a substantial reverse bi-color trumpet this one stands out. Lighthouse Reef is as contrasty, smooth and substantial as it gets. Ovate petals with a smooth substance overall. Perhaps we repeated ourselves but still not an overstatement.

Inheriting floriferousness from her mother and green color from her father Lima's Green Goddess is a fall blooming viridiflorus cross. These daffodils like to be high and dry in summer dormancy and will awake around October first. They go dormant in the late spring, and are somewhat cold hardy, but there are limits.

It is not often that a yellow trumpet is found adjacent to the term Intermediate . But Little Alfred sports all of the trumpet flanged and notched cupped bling that you want, but with a "seen not heard" modesty that you like. Lovely color, form and detail. Increases. We think Little Alfred is a candidate for pot culture. ADS Intermediate.

We are pleased to list this miniature white pink cupped tazetta by Harold Koopowitz. Little Dianne is unique and feminine, full of color, fine form, detail and fragrance. Makes you loath to leave the ranch in springtime. Limited stock
7 Y-GYO
Little Rusky is a really, really little Jonquil. Like the other bigger Ruskies we know, he is intense and rewards with painstaking attention to detail. When you catch a flash of the green eye, you too will understand. Handsome as the Tsar in form and color.
Miniatures can have a reputation of going AWOL after a season or two. Little Rusky has returned for duty, increasing, over the years for us with little care at all. The scape pushes the long lasting blooms higher and higher as the late season progresses. ADS Miniature.

A remarkably bright performer of the pseudo narcissus type. On first glance Little Spell might be mistaken for Gipsy Queen. Lovely little thing. Registered as a Yellow-Yellow, but how is this not a reverse bi-color ?
2 W-Y
I am very enamored with Little Spring King, he is one of Carlo's smaller sized seedlings. A triple threat : good for pot culture, good for the rockery, good for exhibition. Royal good posture, looks confident and blooms well out of the leaves.
6 Y-R
From New Zealand, a very early cyclamineus with rich color. A little like Jetfire but without the mottling in the cup.
6 Y-Y
Little Surprise is recent small, yellow cyclamineus from Brian Duncan. Species cyclamineus x species poeticus. Even colored, reflexed with a little, wrinkled, pug-nosed cup.

In the States, in a crowdsourced competition, he would have been named "Snooty McSnootface", but Snooty is indeed an Irish Lord of both Trumpets and reverse bi-colors. Awesome flower, sired by Brian Duncan. New Introduction, doesn't appear to be registered at this writing. Only a few bulbs to offer.
Lord Snooty is a pre-existing, albeit, fictional Irish cartoon character. somewhat analogous to the US character Richy RIch.
