Daffodils for Exhibition
AMERICAN CLASSIC (Havens) 1997 2Y-WYY L 19" (Sungem x Lemon Lyric) XH120/1. Perfection of form
characterizes this flower, as the parentage would
suggest. Very broadly ovate perianth of deep lemon
yellow, every flower perfectly flat, very slightly reflexing
at maturity. Straight corona opens buff, turning white
at the base, leaving buff yellow at the mouth. One of
our best show flowers.
AMERICAN PEACE (Havens) 2004 5Y-Y L 15" (Hillstar x
BIOMETRICS (Havens) 2004 2Y-O E 12" (Jetfire x Gypsy) TEH53/11. Nicely formed intermediate size flower which is fertile. It has
shown ability to set seed when crossed with miniatures and has potential for breeding red into miniatures. Well formed flat bright
yellow perianth and bright orange cup-shaped corona with slight ruffle. A sibling to Velocity and Flint Arrow, however this one has a flat
perianth and qualifies as a desirable addition to the intermediates. 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.
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.
EXCITEMENT (Havens) 2002 3W-YYO L 18" (Unknown parentage)
TEH123/2. Pure white rounded perianth accentuates the bright flat corona of mid-yellow with
a brilliant orange red rim. Perianth segments are broad enough that the inner segments nearly touch. Smooth and heavy with substance. Makes healthy but rough appearing bulbs.
FLINT ARROW (Havens) 2002 6Y-O E 26" (Jetfire x
Gypsy) TEH53/1. A sibling to Velocity, Flint Arrow
also has a very deeply colored gold perianth with a
hint of orange, apparently inherited from Gypsy.
Perianth is reflexed, broader than most, and quite
smooth. Narrow, straight, deep orange corona has a
slight frill at the border. Truly multipurpose, Flint
Arrow is suitable for show, for garden and possibly for
hybridizing (has set seed for us).
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.
LEMON BROOK (Mitsch) 1991 2YYW-W L 17" (Euphony open pollinated) 2002. Straight cup with ruffle at the border, becoming pure white at maturity, the spade shaped flat broad deep lemon perianth with white halo resists tears making suitable for shows. Heavy substance with very striking clean contrast. 02-598 $6.00 each.
PACIFIC RIM (Mitsch) 1994 2Y-YYR M 17" (Montego x
Ringmaster) TT35/1. If crisp, distinct rims are of
interest, this one is superb. Entire flower of clear yellow,
with a defined bright rim of solid orange red on the
perfectly round flared corona, of relatively short length.
It won Best of Show in three different shows across the
U.S. the year after introduction. Recipient of the Wm.
G. Pannill Award from ADS.
PERPETUATION (Havens) 1996 7YYW-W L 11" (Hillstar
x Quickstep) Y91/14. A bit smaller than Regeneration
and very precisely formed, broad lemon yellow
perianth segments with white halo, and round cupshaped
corona, becoming white. Generally 3 flowers
per stem with sweet jonquil fragrance. Fertile and
very floriferous.
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.
ROSEGARDEN (Mitsch) 1994 4W-R L 21" (Gay Time
x Green Hills) 2P68/10. A beautifully formed full
symmetrical pure white double with bright orange
red petaloids with a lovely spicy fragrance.
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.
TICONDEROGA (Havens) 2000 3W-YYO L 14" (Merlin x ?) TEH108/10. While the parentage on this one says Merlin x Quick Step, we question whether the pollen from Quick Step “took.” Very rounded flower, impressive for its symmetry. A tiny yellow cup with a broad deep orange band, stands out against pure white perianth. Generally produces rough appearing bulbs. A superior intermediate as it grows here. 03-330 $6.00 each .
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.
VERMONT HILLS (Havens) 2006 2W-GWW 17" L (Misty
Glen x Angel) Y149/2 As most of the cross, this large
white flower inherits the elegance and beauty from
both its parents, resembling Angel but with a longer
corona. Silken smooth, road perianth is flat, with
heavy substance. The cup shaped corona appears to
be very small, but upon measurement is well beyond
borderline. The deep green eye is not as large and
imposing as that of its sibling, Emerald Empire.
Stands tall in the garden, is vigorous and increases
well.
