Daffodils 2020


I wondered how many diffferent daffodils we have.  Since I don't have a great visual memory, I thought I would record them here.  The first pictures are from April 27, 2020.  The daffodils are at peak.


There is the traditional large trumpet yellow daffodil.  It's what everyone thinks of when you say daffodil!



Then there is the white with a flat trumpet.  This has a large, yellow flat trumpet.
The trumpet fades to pale yellow as the flower matures.

Here's an orange flat trumpet in a yellow daffodil.

There are two mutated trumpets.  















I don't know what to call them.  Do you?


The white/pink on the left is ???
The white/yellow on the right is ??

white/yellow is White Lion.

4/28/20 - another double opened - it's yellow/yellow





Here are two that are sold by Netherland Bulb Company.  We bought a mixture from them, so we assume . . .
white yellow is "White Lion"

White/white is "Obdam".
We are pleased with anything we
The bulbs were exceptionally large.

That's what we have as of April 27, 2020.

Now that it's May, 2020, we have a few more and different ones.

This one has a normal ruff and normal trumpet, but the trumpet is filled with petals.


We are definitely enjoying our bouquets.
The flower below, at 7 o'clock, is the same filled trumpet shown in the previous picture.

Such a cheerful flower!


Isn't this white with a pink trumpet just lovely?
Here it is growing in the garden.
After the woodchuck helped himself to a bunch of tulips, we had to fence the garden.

This flower is called "tête-à-tête".  
This is an ultra close-up shot.
Each flower is smaller than a quarter!

This has been an exceptionally cold and damp spring, and the daffodils love it.  We were surprised to note that we dead-headed the first daffodil on May 2.  That's very late for here.
