Some favour the old classics; others favour the more ostentatious modern hybrids.
I offer this as a contender:
Lemon Yellow trumpets, and lemon yellow petals. 100% yellow. No frilly bits! All three of these compact blooms are borne on one slender stem about 18" tall.
The trouble is, I don't know it's name! I don't even remember buying it. I think perhaps it is one that came in a mixed bag I bought a couple of years ago. Does anyone recognise it? Even if you don't, do you like it or not?
Think given there are 27,000 different varieties you might have a challenge on your hands.
ReplyDeleteI like the miniature ones for the garden, We have the larger ones on the plot where they can become untidy and not bother me or other plants. As for colour I like the whites as well as yellows but the ones with pinkish trumpets do nothing for me. I also like a distinctive trumpet or cup not the over frilly doubles that don't look at all like daffodils
ReplyDeleteI am no help. I like them all :)
ReplyDeleteLike Becky I like them all too. I like the white ones, the yellow ones, and the mixed ones. Though in front of my office window that my desk overlooks (so the ones I see the most) I put some pretty ordinary large yellow ones. So maybe those I like the best? They are certainly very nice from a distance. But the cute little ones are so nice up close.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest daffodils all look much the same to me. I do prefer the tete-a-tete as they don't blow over as much as the taller ones. It is so windy in Northern Ireland!
ReplyDeleteLots to choose from fortunately. If I like the look of them in bloom I buy them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kelli about tete-a tete. In my smallish garden they give a great display and then do their dying down well hidden by the other stuff coming through.
ReplyDeleteI like my daffs pure and simple but have a soft spot for pale lemon with orange trumpets. Hate pink trumpets and those that look like they have mangled up innards. Haven't a clue which variety yours are but they are very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love my daffodils looking like daffodils. This one is prefect!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on the frilly ones, I like all the others though.
ReplyDeleteI don't recognise it but I do like it. Plain and simple yellow for me, and I do like the ones with more than one flower on each stem.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely variety- does it have a scent?
ReplyDeleteI really like this daffodill maybe it is tete-a-tete. I have them in my garden as well!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's definitely not Tete-a-Tete (which has one two-tone flower per stem, and very short stems).
DeleteYes, you're right! The daffodil in your garden looks beautiful though!
