Beautiful Jerry - can I contribute to your daffs gallery as they are some of my favourites also :)



Can anyone tell me which variety my second photo is - it is very unusual :-\

Thanks for the name Eric - can't find it in any of my books at the moment but will keep searching.

DD I bought the bulbs a couple of years ago at a local garden centre.  They are a miniature variety which I prefer as they do not get knocked over by the wind.  Can't be more specific than that I am afraid.

Now that is interesting, I did not think it was Rip Van Winkle as the ones we threw away as being ugly were far more orange than the picture above. So, I Googled it and one set of pics is orange as I remembered it but the others are as yellow as Garden Girl's photo.

Looking at GW's photo of Queen Annes, I don't think mine is that variety as the petals are spikey.  Maybe it is RVW.

Looked at some RVW today in Bridgemere G/C and they have green in the double part, so perhaps you are correct in their id. Sorry to have mislead!

Please don't apologise Eric.  I am always grateful for your help in identifying plants and you are usually correct :)

Dirk,

Most of my daffs are like yours, a very light colour.  I just adore them as they mean spring has finally sprung.  Some of my other plants have germinated today so I am double happy !
