A not so recent Blom jonquil, yellow striped with white. Small and late, from Baby Moon.

In the large population of pink cups, small-cupped daffodils are a small subset. Good Faith is more well rounded and a bit deeper in color than, say our favored Little Jewel. Good Faith extends the season by blooming later than the others.

A stellar, but older, just-registered, bi-colored large cupped seedling from Brian Duncan. As for the name, "Hard to Beat" may be accurate: in Ireland may be a bit "cheeky", but in New York that's just plain old chutzpeh. Coming to a daffodil show near you soon.

Just fills you with envy doesn't it ? Powerful contender for best in any show, no? Ovate and mucronate spinnaker-white petals as perfect as the compact red suction cupped-cup. Hartlebury is just unbeatable. Late 20th Century English narcissiculture.

The cup is a very cool pink color for a daffodil, so blueish that is called lilac. With a very showy flanged cup that is uncommon in a cyclamineus, Lilac Charm is an improbable and delicate thing. Limited numbers available.

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.

love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail

it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea

love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky

We just did a check and we have at one time or another listed a lot of John Gibson's Daffodils, maybe half of his lifetime registrations. Love to Dream a large all white trumpet with a certain amount of blingy attitude is very much in the vein of impressive English show flowers. Registered in 2026.

Millennium Orange

We list more miniature daffodils than pretty much anyone, and not a single one of those miniatures was conceived in the Netherlands. Our Dutch brethren bequeath upon us an impressive array of daffodils of great stature, bright color and breadth of bloom : here is another example of all that Lowland largesse. A very large, muy grande, and colorful, muy colorido, bloom on a landscape-grade stem. Muy Bien, very good! With a little gentle-fingered suppression of the ribby-ness and natural reflex in the perianth Muy Bien can be a competition contender. From Carlos van der Veek.

Fabulous white trumpet with Hollywood star power. Nightflightis always ribbon material in color, substance and form. Limited.

Papaya King was a street front hot dog stand on 86th street in Manhattan (aka Nieuw Amsterdam) where a student, blue collar or office worker could get a dog and delicious tall Papaya drink for under a dollar. Though now defunct, the thirsty daffodil enthusiast can still get the same refreshing combination in yellow and papaya pink in this new introduction from North Holland. Collared split-cupped crowns held above broad upright leaves on substantial scapes Papaya King should quench multiple appetites : border, bench and vase.

This daffodil seems to inspire a lot of excitement, desire, pushing, and shoving, Pink Climax is a stunning Yellow / Pink Large cup, which is a real thing , and it is John Reed seedling, which is another thing too. The soft pink in the cup is a bluish-pink if you know what we mean.We have a few more to offer this year.

A gentle large cup, registered in 2026, Pink Marvel is softly colored and round everywhere a gentle daffodil ought to be softly colored and round. More than a show daffodil. Limited numbers.

Plymouth Hoe

There is a back story to "Pops Legacy". It originated in New Zealand but wasn't recognized until it was a seedling in Pennsylvania. The OPS stands for Open Pollinated Seedling. POPs makes a terrific flower that is so easy to show with a substance and readily apparent quality of bloom that really puts it apart from other White / Yellows. For me the real story is that for such a nice cultivar I have shockingly few to offer.

Dr.Reed's Red Passion is show daff in all ways: color, proportion and rotund silhouette. Small numbers to offer.

Robustian is a well-named pink cup -he does sport an overall robust feeling and throws a bloom of great substance. We think that there is likely no-end to the depth of pink color you may coax from the cup if you can supply cool, cool Northern-Ireland-like nights while Robustian is in bud.

A tiny large-cup from the species N.rupicola, as early and as cute as it gets in the land of Daffodils. An ADS miniature by measurement if not by declaration. From Brian Duncan.

A trumpet, a red cupped trumpet, a sunproof red cupped trumpet, another fine Navy day, that is Sailor's Choice.

A floriferous and scented Jonquilla / viridiflorus cross from the California Nursery of Harold Koopowitz. Fall winter blooming in week 52. Exhibits the fortitude and substance of other viridiflorus crosses. Probably most suited to zone 8 and 9 .

While most of Mr. Blom's seedlings are miniatures, ivory colored Snellebel pushes the envelope as a larger, not miniature, but still dwarf cyclamineus. Swooping in with a birdlike form, it is swift, reflexed and thrilling.
