Daffodils for Exhibition
AMERICAN PEACE (Havens) 2004 5Y-Y L 15" (Hillstar x
ANITRA’S DANCE (Havens) 2010 2W-P LM 15" (Lorikeet x Magician) WH27/5. A most beautiful flower from this prolific cross. Very broad perianth with heavy substance, and formal enough for show. Brightly colored, pink corona is funnel shaped, expanded at the margin with a heavily ruffled border. Even with the preceding corona, the perianth resists tears and nicks. An excellent garden flower with potential for show and breeding. Rapid increaser.
BALANCED EQUATION (Havens) 2004 11aW-PPY L 15" (Camelot x Pink Holly) Y47/1. Unique split corona with improved form and beautiful color. Broadly ovate perianth of white with heavy substance. Ruffled split corona of luminous pastel peach pink with an amber rim. Fine flower with unique character.
CEDAR HILLS (Mitsch) 1987 3W-GYY L 24" (Impala x
Green Hills) KK87/3A. One of our favorites, the large
green eye zone, which extends nearly half the cup,
seems to dominate one’s attention when first
observing. The absolute perfection of form and clean
coloration are tributes to both its parents. Beautifully
rounded broad white perianth and deep yellow short
cup.
COEUR D’ ALENE (Havens) 2008 9W-GYR L 18" (Sea Green x Mountain Poet) Y170/2. Named for a beautiful lake in northern Idaho, this well formed poet has very broad rounded inner perianth segments nearly touching. Disk-shaped yellow corona with a green eye and very narrow orange-red rim. Quite striking and of exhibition caliber.
COLONIAL WHITE (Mitsch) 1994 2W-W LM 18" (Panache x Misty Glen) TT26/1. Clean white throughout, with a greenish cast, the flat broadly ovate perianth has a smoothness reminiscent of silk. Mid-length corona, very slightly expands at the wavy shaped mouth.
EMERALD EMPIRE (Havens) 1999 2W-GWW L 18" (Misty
Glen x Angel) Y149/10. A large elegant flower with
many of the positive traits of both its parents. Smooth
flat perianth segments of pure white and rather small
white frilled corona seem to intensify the large deep
green eye. The broadly ovate perianth segments have
a silken texture with the back three segments nearly
touching. A smooth show flower with vigorous health.
EVE'S POET (Eve Robertson) 9W-GYR L 15" (Unknown parentage) Slightly reflexed pure, poet-white perianth relatively flat, with a hint of curl at the edges, mucro at the tips. Disc shaped corona with a large green eye showing on the outside of the cup, the green extending slightly, into the perianth, as it blooms here. Cup has a broad yellow zone and narrow orange rim.
GOLDEN SEVEN (Havens) 2003 7Y-Y L 14" (Hillstar op.) AHO8/37. Well formed flowers of deepest gold with heavy substance; generally 3 flowers per stem. Very floriferous and for us it produces copious quantities of seed. Potential for hybridizing as well as for show. GREEK COLUMN (Mitsch) 1993 1W-Y M (Wahkeena x V60/2) HH122/2 Well formed flat ovate perianth segments are white with a yellow halo. Trumpet of clear yellow. Heavy substance. HOT GOSSIP (Pearson) 2Y-O EM (((Home Fires x Ceylon) x Court Martial) x Vulcan) Brilliant color contributes to garden capability along with its ability for show. Broadly ovate perianth of bright yellow with vibrant orange expanded corona.
JONQUILAWN (Havens) 7YYW-Y L 14" (Hillstar x Quickstep) Y91/16. Broad quite flat perianth of lemon yellow with white halo. Lemon cup develops pinkish undertones. 2-3 florets per stem; fragrant. Exceptional flower.
LIGHTNING FIRE (Galyon) 2O-R EM 15" (Sabine Hay x Monal) FG100. A very bright flower, not as quick to fade as is it’s seed parent. Very broadly ovate perianth segments with heavy substance, are a deep coppery color, and intensify if picked. Deep orange-red bowl shaped crown is scalloped and very pleasing form. An all around appealing flower with good health and an excellent increaser.
LIMEQUILLA (Havens) 1990 7W-W L 18" (Lime Chiffon x N. jonquilla) QEJ55/1. A most unique jonquil with a limey ivory color. The cup is considerably longer than is found in most jonquils and is in pleasing balance with the well formed flat perianth. Generally two to three florets per stem. Upon final maturity, the entire flower develops to limey white. Has proven to be fertile and produced some well formed seedlings.
MAGIC LANTERN (Havens) 2000 1Y-O EM 19" (Lemon Lyric x Lemon Sails) Y137/1. Formed rather like its seed parent, the color is an intensification of Lemon Sails. In our climate, the entire flower opens lemon yellow, the cup becoming buffish orange and continues to intensify. If not protected, it goes back to yellow and then fades to nearly white. Very rounded perianth with very straight blunt trumpet and heavy substance with smooth texture, make it a prime show flower. Has won awards at many shows, including National. Recipient of the William G. Pannill Award from the American Daffodil Society. MISSION BELLS (Mitsch) 1984 5W-W Lm 15" (Silver Bells, open pollinated) GO27/1. The slightly reflexing ivory white perianth is relatively broad for a triandrus and the bowl shaped crown of the same color with a yellow green eye lends grace and charm. Very floriferous, with 1-3 flowers per stem. Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, London England. ORANGEWOOD (Havens) 2009 2Y-O E 16" (Gold Velvet x Scarlet Chord) HH26/6. Large refined flower of smooth texture and heavy substance. The long cylindrical orange corona has every appearance of being a trumpet. An excellent increaser and with potential for show and garden.
OZONE (Gould) 2005 2W-W M 16" (Broomhill x (Coral Ribbon x Rose Royale)) Beautifully formed smooth all white flower a little larger than Broomhill. It’s character is rather like Phoenician. Broad pure white perianth with mid-length cylindrical corona with clean lines and flat broad white perianth, makes a very appealing flower for show and garden.
PACIFIC RIM (Mitsch) 1994 2Y-YYR M 17" (Montego x Ringmaster) TT35/1. Entire flower of clear yellow, with a bright crisp, defined rim of solid orange-red on the perfectly round flared corona, of relatively short length. Recipient of the William G. Pannill Award from the American Daffodil Society.
PHOENICIAN (Mitsch-Havens) 1995 2W-W M 15"
(Broomhill x Canisp) TT23/18. One of the best of all of
the flowers we exhibited at the 1994 ADS convention
in Portland, winning best flower in the Hybridizers’
Challenge Class. Very consistent, broadly ovate, silken
smooth perianth segments endowed with heavy
substance. The 3/4 length corona is straight and in
ideal balance to the perianth. Clean lines and clean
white, excellent show flower.
PINK CHINA (Havens) 2W-P LM 16" (Pink Ice x HEJ17) SEH3/1. Intermediate in size, this one is a gem in the garden and has
exhibiting capability. Rounded, flat, clean white perianth shows off
the solid deep pink of the round cup shaped corona. Frequent winner
in shows. Recipient of the William G. Pannill Award from the American Daffodil Society.
QUICK BELLS (Galyon) 2003 5W-W L 14" (Silver Bells x Quick Step) Very free flowering white triandrus hybrid. Well formed blooms with rounded cup shaped coronas and broad well reflexed perianths. Generally, 3-4 florets per stem. Vigorous and floriferous giving potential for garden as well as show.
ROSE LAKE (Mitsch/Havens) 2001 2W-P M 14" ((Easter Moon x Cool Flame) x Pink Silk) 2X14/5. Perfectly smooth broad perianth, with broadly ovate segments which form a double triangle with the slightest bit of reflex. Long funnel shaped corona of rich rose pink with a crenate border. Winner of the Rose Ribbon at the 2000 American Daffodil Society National Show.
SCARLET TANAGER (Havens) 1992 2Y-R L 13" (Bantam
x Kindled) REH7/3. A relatively small flower of
perfect form with very rounded smooth and flat
perianth of clear medium yellow, the inner petals
nearly touching. Bowl shaped neatly ruffled crown of
brilliant orange red. A beautiful precise flower.
Intermediate.
TRIGONOMETRY (Mitsch) 1995 11aW-P M 15" (Recital x
Phantom) 205/2. One of the best formed of the series
of pink split coronas we have offered. Well formed
white ovate perianth. Creamy pink corona a bit
ruffled, but symmetrical and evenly splitting into the
perianth. A regular show winner.
TRUMPET WARRIOR (Mitsch) 1990 1YYW-WWY M 21" (Chiloquin x Arctic Gold) 2P33/1. Elegant, well poised, and with strong contrast. The pure white trumpet is flared with a moderate lemon ruffle at the margin. Flat spade shaped perianth segments of sharp lemon. Has proven excellent for exhibition.
UNCHANGED MELODY (Havens) 2007 2W-PYY L 15" . (Camelot x Music) Y43/1 Of heavy substance, reminiscent of Camelot. Very broad perianth of ivory white, sometimes the sepals overlap in back. Cup-shaped corona of apricot peach in the throat and amber yellow for half of the corona; at maturity, the color blends to soft apricot pink with an amber rim. The unusual color progression is fascinating to watch.
VELOCITY (Havens) 1995 6Y-R EM 12" (Jetfire x Gypsy) TEH53/2. A classically formed division 6 with strongly reflexed perianth segments of gold, containing underlying orange hues, apparently inherited from Gypsy. Long orange red tubular crown formed similarly to that of Jetfire, and about the same size.
WHITEBIRD (Havens) 2002 7W-W L 20" (Pure Joy x N. jonquilla) AH80/1. Well rounded perianth segments and a small funnel-shaped cup with a crenate edge. Generally 1-2 florets per stem. Blooming very late in the season, well formed and vigorous.
