2 YYW-YPP
Labelled an intermediate and labelled a dwarf I dutifully planted Solera in the miniatures bed. And there it blooms every year like Baby Huey over-taxing the crib, a sixth grader towering over the principal. Makes lots of consistent blooms that develop a lovely color along with a flattened perianth. I see Solera often at shows as a dependable team player, especially in collections. It is more late than mid season blooming for us in Connecticut. From Brian Duncan.

From the prolific Brian Duncan we offer three show daffs that are in the vein of the classic lipstick-rimmed small-cupped yellow daffodil Pacific Rim: Burning Ring; Ring Fence ;Triple Crown ;. Although all throw flawless blooms, we personally would wager Triple Crown by a nose except that in the UK they Award the Triple Crown to Rugby players not horse and jockey.
3 W-GYY
If we had a cool name like Vendell we too would be sharp, cool and handsome. Coloration like Queen of the North the petals and cup, yet rounder and made for competition.

At one time it was said that you couldn't win top prize at a U.K. daffodil show without entering a bloom of Goldfinger. One year the grower of Goldfinger mixed-up the stock with another variety : subsequently the next Spring there was collective panic across the British Isles as the daffodil blooms emerged. Westerwind is from a group of Brian Duncan gold trumpet seedlings heretofore never registered. Like its Westerly named siblings Westerwind is a Goldfinger x Disquiet cross.

When wild things occur in the nursery you could get a floriferous little tazetta with translucent shellfish-pink cups. How are you going to keep them down on the farm when they have seen this one? Wildly Romantic in so many ways, nearly overlooked, Wild Romance is a Soprano x dubius cross from Gamemaster Duncan.
