Mid Bloomers

A pink-cupped triandrus may be the rarest form in all of daffodildom. Akepa is perhaps the very first of its kind, from Grant Mitsch.

Androcles pulled a thorn from the paw of a pursuing lion thus befriending him. Androcles the daffodil has calmed and tamed us also, we depend on it in large numbers for the vase and the border. Its broad, softly cream colored , and long lasting blooms project a quiet roar . Bred by the American Bill Pannill who created many perfect blooms, one at at time.

The daffodil diggers of North Holland consider themselves to be tough guys. It is never good to be "soft" and they will let you know it, early and often. But here is the softest colored pink cup ever, and where does it come from ? But straight out of tough guy land. I think our florist friends will swoon and soften for Beau Beauté. She is a bit like High Society that has completed a course in anger management. New introduction from Carlos van der Veek.

Bluntington

Brian's Favorite. A John Reed seedling, a clean colored, mucronate pink-cup from Dailmanach. Extremely limited quantities.

A very successful culitvar- a sport of L'innocence that is gown in great numbers, for forcing and floral work. Because of a Poetaz influence it is hardier than a purebred tazetta. ADS Classic.

Broadwalk Beauty

Yellow and pink-cupped trumpets are a special, rarified group in the world of daffodils, highly sought after with most being showstoppers. Bronzewing is perhaps more sophisticated than the rest, a Brian Duncan bruiser with four inch blossoms and a corpulent cup. The petals have a fade to white at mid rib creating an even greater contrast with that big ole rich-pink cup. Not a back bencher.

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 TÍte-‡-TÍte? 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.
