We hesitate to deem Beautiful Dream as a good “filler” flower for the bouquet, although it succeeds any way you see fit to use it. Because of its gentle nature and its ability to elevate its neighbors, you may overlook its strength, frilly cup and lovely coloration. Like all things Grant Mitsch there is perfection here, but perfection does not exclude gentleness. Pollen and seed fertile. Granddaughter of China White. Don't be shy, we have a good stock of this daffodil.

Why do daffodils have a cup? Because they are pollen protectors – rain water will kill any pollen it touches – daffodils long ago evolved to tuck their stamens safely in their downward hanging cups. Centuries of daffodil breeding has conspired to breed upward facing blooms for the landscape and showier flowers.
Triandrus daffodils prefer to stick to the protective protocol and remain pendant.
Ice Chimes is a truly beautiful flower, small in size yet oversized in color, form and contrasts. More novelty from Grant Mitsch. Rare and limited.
