Rare and Limited
68 Cultivars Listed
A subjective category — by definition almost everything we list is rare and limited. If we notice that we have only, say, 25 bulbs of a daffodil to sell it goes into this bucket.
3 Y-R
Rounded profile, the small cup is richly colored and broad. Towards maturity the segments of Arid Plains blanch from solid yellow to partially white. From Brian Duncan.
2 Y-O
An older orange large cupped daffodil, Banker is dependable and easily produces a flawless, substantial, and winning bloom.
2 W-P
Slender snouted and flared in pale pink, Beautiful Lady is ready-made for competition and vase-eye-candy. A newer Duncan seedling from the greatly missed Chanson.
5 W-W
Theo Sanders triandrus cross Silver Bells x (Perpetuation x Limequjilla).
3 Y-YYO
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.
6 W-GPP
Bilbo, named for Bilbo Boggins of the Hobbit, is an older seedling from earlier in the career of the prolific Brian S. Duncan but new to our list in 2026. A pink-cupped daffodil, it is tall for a cyclamineus and can develop wavy character in the blooms. From foundling, but more upright and vigorous.
4 W-O
Double daffodils are not the most ribbon-winning bunch: only the most rounded and orderly need apply. Blossom Lady, originating from New Zealand, is definitely a ribbon candidate: bright; colorful; well-formed; well-rounded. Way back in the family tree is the historic double Mary Copeland. Extremely limited.
2 W-P
You get a lot of rosy acreage in this older American bred large cup. Bold Pink is just that, and a kind of unique coloring for this form of daffy.
2 Y-GYY
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.
6 Y-Y
A fragrant and early little cyclamineus offspring of Gipsy Queen, Bunnie Bee is another miniature from the universe of tiny flowers by Walter Blom.
1 Y-Y
If you are in the market for an all gold trumpet it is hard to find a more exemplary example than Cameo Gem. Has heavy substance and a frilly edge on the long -long cup.
3 W-YYO
Cameo Marie - A fiery white and yellow-yellow-orange Kiwi-bred small cup. Broad ovate white petals. Four inch blooms. A substantial flower that is a natural for the show bench. Rare.
2 YYW-W
A reverse bi-color with soft even coloration and nearly oval, overlapping petals. Caribbean Snow is very good on the show bench : we had no problem getting perfect blooms , consistently. Also good in bed : Castle Acre is an offspring.
1 W-W
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.
2 W-YWW
A white large cupped daffodil from Clive Postles with a very softly colored yellow cup, for competition.
11a W-P
From Trigonometry and Diversity, Cosine is a Brian Duncan Split cup with a broad, and only slightly interrupted, coral-colored corona. Limited quantities.
2 O-R
Here is an intensely colored Orange / Red large cup that is fecund. Offspring include Rockin Goose, Cameo Flush and Hot Lava. Creag Dubh is daffodil for the competition and for breeding.
2 W-GWW
Croila is an English, all-white, show daff that has been winning ribbons for many decades now. New our list, Croila makes a perfect perianth with substance and has many descendents.
13
Species Daffodil N. cuatrecasasii var. cuatrecasasii Section Apodanthi. Pollen parent of Pequenita.
3 W-WWP
If you had a flat face with a broad pink rim perhaps your mother would have named you Dena too. Dena the Daff is so popular we can't keep her in stock. With a face like that we would be just as popular too. From Brian Duncan.
11a W-PPW
A cup so broad, pink, and unbroken that it eclipses the perianth behind it, Diversity is a poster child for showy split cupped daffodils. A good competitor on the bench, as our stocks increase I expect diversity to attract the attention of cut flower growers. Parent to the split cup Cosine.
1 W-Y
A New Zealand bred stout and sturdy bi-colored trumpet. Doctor Bill is a descendant of the substantive POPS legacy.
2 W-W
This flawless David Jackson all white large cup has been around for a long while, and certainly around the world. From Tasmania Dust Up is new to our list.
2 W-W
Late blooming all white large cup. Very small stock. Eve Robertson
3 W-YYR
Shallow bowl shaped yellow to red small cup in a blunt white perianth. Very tall, very late and colorful. From New Zealand.
2 W-P
A Dr John Reed White / Pink large cup. Just a handful available.
