England

Strong and consistent Aberfoyle is a very dependable large orange cupped entry for the bench. Gets better upon further inspection. An English variety from the 1980's

Albatross - a vigorous and showy old small cup.  Takes calm and patience to differentiate this bloom from its peers: White Lady, Seagull, Stella. Albatross has more orange in the cup that the others.  Bold and bright in the landscape : increases.

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.

A singular jonquil that is perhaps the most beautiful of the division. Showy and colorful with great fragrance. Three flowers per scape if you are lucky, usually one or two. One to treasure.

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.

Arona - Soft yellow perianth, the soft orange peaks at the rim of the spherical cup. Soft spoken and detailed, a peerless thing for the bench. From Clive Postles.

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.

Small solid colored yellow cup set in a substantial set of spinnaker-like segments. Large diameter flower. Turns out that we do need those badges. Badgeworth is from Clive Postles. Limited.

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.

Broomhill is a tall, all white, mid-century large cup. Broad, overlapping petals, strong structure and flanged cup makes her a solid shower. Broomhill is a member of a rich bloodline - Beersheba, King Alfred and China White are ancestors. Very slightly misty green at the base of the cup. Seed fertile, Broomhill has been a seed parent for many all white, show worthy cultivars. ADS Classic.

Camborne is an Alec Gray miniature all-white trumpet. Registered posthumously. Long and frilly cup, matures to pure white. This is one to have in the rockery. Tiny little baroque thing. Used as a pollen parent with species cyclamineus. ADS miniature.

Canaliculatus - An important Tazetta that is grown commercially in large numbers. A historic, an ADS Classic and an ADS miniature. On commercial acreage lists in Holland it is categorized as a species. Pollen and Pod fertile. We maintain a small stock that is hand harvested and graded apart from the large commercial growers. Floriferous, bright and fragrant. Mentioned as an "erratic and fussy bloomer"¹ in Southern zones 8 and above.

A golden Ron Scamp Large cup with a ring of orange on the lip. Cape Cornwall for Competition.

An orange rimmed white small cup from Clive Postles brimming with movie-star charisma. The actress Carole Lombard, nicknamed by publicists as Curvy Carole was a child star in the silent movies before making a successful transition to "talkies": specifically in screwball comedies. In 1942, returning from a rally selling $2 million worth of war bonds in her native Indiana, Carole's life and career was cut short by a tragic flight via TWA ( aka The Worst Airline ) . As a fellow Hoosier I can attest that this is a really stellar bloom. Limited.

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.

Charlie is a large and muscular two-toned trumpet, kind of singular in the world of daffodil brass. With a bit of training and man-scaping, Charlie Conner will perform well in the competition ring.

Cherry Hall

Cherrygardens is pale pink cup that excels on the show bench with broad rounded white petals. Touch of green at the base of the cup ending in a deeper pink rim. Very tall with four inch flowers. Pollen and seed fertile. Very limited stock.
