Alto

Reverse Bi-Colors were once the unicorns of daffodils . But over the late 20th century more and more were introduced, from the fabulous jonquil Pipit to Lemon Silk.

All the people are waiting for Angel Face,
She said she'd meet them down at their favorite place.
Dressed in yellow satin, white linen and lace,
She stood so high with a smile on her face.
