Garden Daffodils for 2010
AMADEUS (Mitsch) 1997 2W-R LM 19" (Precedent x
Magician) TT10/3. A real breakthrough in color, large
broad rounded perianth of pure white stands in
contrast to the brilliant red corona frilled and
expanded. It is almost as if the corona is emitting
light. Heavy substance and strong stem. As in all
flowers, climatic conditions will influence color
intensity.
CATALYST (Mitsch) 1995 2W-R LM 17" (Decoy x Magician) TT3/1. Large, ruffled, brilliant red corona with pure white broadly ovate perianth of heavy substance. We feel Catalyst is another step toward true red with less yellow undertones, achieved by breeding from pinks. CLAVICHORD (Havens) 2001 11aY-W L 16" (Hillstar x Pink Holly) Y100/4. A very appealing split corona, the entire flower opens a rich lemon color, the corona gradually flattening somewhat, and developing to creamy buffy white. The symmetrical, evenly divided corona, folded into the rich lemon of the perianth, displays sharp contrast. Intermediate size here.
FIRE DRILL (Mitsch) 2006 11aW-P LM 16" (Spaceship x Mission
Impossible) 2T15/1. Triangular, heavily frilled deep peach pink split cup, against a broad white perianth, makes a real statement in the garden; definitely not a show flower, but calls more attention than just about any of the bright split coronas in our field. Heavy
substance and excellent health make this one an ideal garden
flower.
FULFILLMENT (Havens) 2009 2 Y-P M 15" (Lorikeet x Magician) WH27/8. Sibling to Spring Bouquet, Color Magic and others, this is another fine flower for the garden, with beautiful color and well formed broad lemon perianth. The long, frilled and flared peachy pink corona does not seem to catch in the perianth. Nicely formed flower with garden appeal.
HARPSICHORD (Havens) 2003 11aY-P L 15" (Hillstar x
Pink Holly) Y100/10. Very pleasing flower, the corona
opens lemon yellow and becomes a creamy pink in our
garden. Here, the size qualifies for an intermediate.
At maturity the ruffled corona becomes flat and splits
evenly into the symmetrical perianth. Light fragrance.
HAWAIIAN SKIES (Mitsch) 2W-YYP M 13". Spectacular
flower for the garden, the pure white perianth
accentuates the large, bright expanded cup of
brilliant yellow, bordered in red-pink. Prolific bloomer
and increaser, this one makes a bright splash of color
in the garden. Its strong stems support it well and
its heavy substance gives long life to the flowers. It
has a large flower, but produces a small bulb for us.
INTEGER (Mitsch) 1998 11aW-WWP M 16" (Spaceship sib.
x Phantom) TT16/12. Well formed white corona with a
baby pink rim, lies flat and splits evenly into ovate
white perianth.
LIBERATION (Mitsch) 2003 2W-R LM 15" Brilliant
corona, approximating the color of its sibling,
Amadeus, the corona is less expanded at the base,
more funnel shaped, flared and frilled at the margin;
broad perianth segments are informal and very white.
Deep pink red corona combined with the whiteness
of the perianth is most striking in the garden, with
its heavy substance, giving long life to the flowers. MOTMOT (Mitsch) 1979 8Y-R LM 18" (Matador x N. jonquilla) G82/1. Very popular for their very sweet fragrance and vigorous health. The rich yellow flat and rounded perianths provide a foil for the ruffled bright orange red crowns. Generally 3-4 or more florets per stem.
NORTHERN SKIES (Mitsch) 2007 6W-P LM 14" ((Accent x Debutante) x
Cotinga) 2R37/6. Intense corona color of true pink, containing very
little yellow; white fully and evenly reflexed, smooth perianth.
With shortish rather wide bell-shaped corona, it has a special charm
for the rock garden. Heavy substance throughout. Rapid increaser and vigorous.
ORANGE CANDY (Galyon) 2009 2Y-O LM 28" (Copperfield x Shinon) FG56 Exceptional flower of unique color, ideal for the garden and arranging. Broad perianth of bright yellow with heavy substance; large bowl shaped crown of butterscotch orange with a picotee border, a shade lighter. Very pleasing flower, looking fine in clumps.
OREGON BEAUTY (Mitsch/Havens) 4Y-R EM 21". Bright
yellow double with orange-red petaloids interspersed.
PERRYDALE (Havens) 2008 2Y-YPP L 14" (G70/6 (Precedent x Pink Cloud) x Top Notch) Y143/1. Relatively small flower measuring 87 mm in diameter, the smooth perianth of soft lemon yellow similar in color to the base of the precisely formed rather narrow cylindrical corona. A wide mid-pink rim with a crenate edge gives a formal appearance, without the stovepipe border. PINK DECLARATION (Mitsch/Havens) 1987 2W-P LM 18" Very heavy substance throughout, broad white perianth; flared ruffled deep pink corona.
SOUTHERN GARDEN (Galyon) 2009 5Y/W-Y L 17" (Silver Bells x ?) FG4. Dr. Galyon did a great deal of hybridizing with the upper divisions, including Silver Bells. The entire flower opens light yellow, the perianth turning white with yellow edge near the base of the segments. Relatively long cup shaped coronas. Generally 3 florets per stem. We are unsure of the pollen parent. Very appealing sweet scent and floriferous, making an excellent garden flower. Rapid increaser, hardy and with good health in our climate.
SPRING BOUQUET (Havens) 2007 2 Y-P LM 16" (Lorikeet x Magician) WH27/7. A very showy flower, this one has a relatively long cup, making the ruffled corona all the more prominent, with its deep peachy pink coloration. The mid-lemon perianth is broad, smooth and endowed with heavy substance. An exceptional flower for the garden with its vigor and ability to increase. THRICE ( Mitsch) 2002 11aW-P LM 14" (Decoy x Mission Impossible) 2T4/2. Beautifully colored split corona of rosy pink with a pure white perianth. On occasion the corona splits into three definite petal-like square structures, each lying flat against the front of the inner perianth segments - rather like Tricollet, hence the name Thrice. However, many blooms are shaped more like a traditional split corona. Entire flower is of heavy substance.
YOUNG LOVE (Mitsch) 2W-PPY LM 19". A most unusual
color, this has been an excellent doer and a favorite
type with many gardeners. The large flat corona of
pink, with an underlay of lavender, and rimmed with
amber yellow band, is set off by the broad white
perianth.
