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.

April Tears is an Alec Gray cross of species N.jonquilla and N.triandrus. An ol dfavorite of the division. Blooms too late to be of much use above zone 7a, Seed parent to the terrific Tripartite, similar to Hawera. Triandrus seem to prefer slightly acidic soil over alkaline.

A stunning all white large cup. More an ivory color than a clear white with a profound green eye. Possesses a regal, royal wave in the cup for all that pass by. Strength in numbers. Daughter of the widely grown Misty Glen.

An antique double. A truly joyous bloomer that deserves a place in any border or cottage garden. Daughter of Telamonious Plenus and Ornatus. Given the parentage Argent should be expected to perform in the deep south, but I can't find any explicit mentions of that.

A flower so sought after that we can't keep it in house. Large perfect all white large cup, Ashton Wold has a place in the landscape and on the bench.

Astrid's Memory: White and Yellow small cupped show daffodil from Clive Postles.

Bebob is an Alec Gray miniature Jonquil with rich two-toned yellow color. Ma and Pa Bebop were both species, Daddy appears to be a poeticus. Confident like Mary Lou Williams and punchy like Dizzy Gillespie. Scented and petite.

My Best Friend has a round pale primrose moon face and thin orange ring on his very round corona. Such are the bonds of friendship. A real bench burner. By Clive Postles. Only a handful available.

This recent Mark Vandervliet double is makes a really perplexingly big bulb. The double flower is equally as big and supremely well organized and detailed. Like many sumo-sized doubles she blooms in the leaves a bit but on a plenty strong stem , so much the better for the vase, the bench, and the border. I have taken ribbons with this bloom . I would like to be greeted in my garden by a platoon of Big Girls, but alas small numbers yet.

White and pink large cupped daffodil for competition from Clive Postles. Very Limited.Exercise care with your handwriting : not to be confused with Binkie one of the very first reverse bi-colors.

Bobbysoxer -- such a funny orange face on this Alec Gray jonquilla. Floriferous, friendly, fun. Diminutive but stands tall in the close-up garden bed and rockery. Old, but not a miniature nor a historic . ADS Classic.

It's hard to fill a truck selling Boslowick, he is so perfect, so broad faced and calming that you only need one bloom to make your day. But please, take two bulbs, or three ! A very well ordered and well behaved split cup, with a profound color. A good grower for us, a perfect thing like most things Ron Scamp. See also Jabberwocky. Limited availability.

An Englehardt cultivar, similar to Conspicuus , but Brilliancy keeps his yellow perianth color, loud cup, and is really tall. Another old timer that brings real, perennial, spring glory to the bed and landscape. Unlike us, the petals get slender and slim with age. Small availability,

An easy going monochromatic yellow coloration with a well-rounded perianth, Broadwalk Beauty is show daffodil that makes it easy to find a consistent and flawless bloom. Hard to find mostly because my fingers type "boardwalk" instead of "broadwalk." Perhaps some reference to the catwalk on the fashion show runway: Broadwalk Beauty is very tall like Jerry Hall. Very small stock.

Anyone referring to a flower named 'Buttercup' elicits all kinds of confusion. Are they referencing a Ranunculus, using a generic term for jonquils that bloom freely in the South, increasingly as an alias for One of the several daffodils registered under that name? We offer the historic Rev. Engleheart jonquilla 'Buttercup', a strong grower with large flowers more reminiscent of a historic small cup. Rare. Brings intense happiness to the gardener. Smells good.

A very substantial reverse bi-color, a daughter of Caribbean Snow, but a full and contrasty trumpet. Besides being stunning this seedling never throws a damaged bloom for us with lovely substance. Good on color, stem and substance. Ribbon winning candidate.

There is a lot to appreciate about Castle Howard : velvety substance, the linen white color, the sheer size and architecture of the bloom. Howie can be a handful to husband but in the end insanely rewarding. An imposing presence when fully unfurled on the bench.

Towering over the tazetta bed every year is Chinita, an original poetaz with a very broad flowers and unusual clear primrose color. Pick it early to protect the cup from sunburn, the petals from blanching. Downright thrilling in the vase. Singular.

A delicate flower, a cross of Limequilla and species triandrus. Pale relexed petals, rich, pendant, and bulbous, cup. We find Churchfield Bells attractive and memorable in the mixed border, more than other triandrus, for reasons we cannot verbalize.

Clare is just the cutest little miniature jonquilla with a flat colorful cup. Perianth is a lighter yellow. An Alex Gray daffodil from mid century. Comparable to but distinct from Sun Disc and Bebop. Usually one flower per scape. ADS Classic.
