Garden Daffodils for 2009
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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. Possibilities are of most any color combination and type. Bulbs are picked at random and some duplication is possible. 99-119 $17.00 per dozen
