Garden Daffodils for 2008
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. CHRISTMAS VALLEY (Mitsch) 4W-P EM 18" (Pink
Chiffon x (Carita x Accent)) MM31/10. Nicely formed
quite symmetrical perianth segments and inner
petals, the inner petaloids being ruffled pink. A large
flower with strong stem standing up well in inclement
weather. Beautiful in arrangements or individually.
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.
FERTILE CRESCENT (Havens) 2000 7YYW-YYW L
(Hillstar x Quick Step) Y91/2. A fragrant, floriferous
jonquil, the well formed broad perianth of deep lemon
with a white halo combines with a cup shaped corona,
opening lemon colored and changing to buffish yellow
with a distinct white rim. Well suited for show and
garden, as well as hybridizing, setting copious
quantities of seed here, even when not hand pollinated. Generally 3 florets per stem.
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.
La Salle (Havens) 2004 11aY-P LM 13" (Lemon Lyric x Pink Holly) XH126/2. The most contrast we have seen 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. MAGICIAN (Mitsch) 1982 2W-R M 18" (W17/1 (Accent x
Rose Caprice) x Cool Flame) JJ16/1. While a magician
may deceive the eye with his sleight-of-hand, the eye
could scarcely be believed when it first focused on this
flower. The perianth is large with heavy substance.
A flaring and fluted bowl shaped crown is of intense
reddish orange, appearing as deep red in comparison
with other pinks.
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.
OREGON BEAUTY (Mitsch/Havens) 4Y-R EM 21". Bright
yellow double with orange-red petaloids interspersed.
OREGON ROSE (Havens) 1995 4W-P L 16" ((Precedent
x Pink Cloud) x Music) TEH85/3. A well formed
double of great interest with its pinkish tint in the
outer petals, as it grows here. Oregon Rose appears to
have broad enough petals, though fewer of them, to
give the needed fullness, the entire flower of heavy
substance. May be useful for hybridizing, most flowers
having stigmas. As in many doubles, it may take more
than one year to acclimate.
Southern Hospitality (Havens) 2000 4Y-R EM (Grebe x Monal sib)
SEH54/1. Well formed and symmetrical, although not as many petaloids as some doubles, they are broad, giving the appearance of fullness;
blooms early enough that it may have potential for Southern U.S.
SPANISH FIESTA (Havens) 2002 11aY-R M 18". Bright
yellow ovate perianth segments make a standout color
combination with the brilliant orange-red corona
which splits into the perianth. Exceptionally colorful
and reasonably formed, “Spanish Fiesta” is well suited
for the garden, with its rapid increase, heavy
substance and bright coloration. TRUMPETER SWAN (Havens) 1999 1W-P EM (Pink Satin
sib x Pink Silk) TEH38/7. Very well formed intense
pink trumpet with broad flat white perianth 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. Seedling Better Mixture A seedling is an unnamed daffodil and the following bulbs are of blooming size. Our mixture is from selected seedlings of considerable merit.
