Large blooms with wider trumpet open a very pale yellow cream, then quickly become snowy white. Variety developed in the late 1930's and has become a mainstay in my garden. Very hardy and mulitply in my region for years of pleasure (planted mine 25 years ago and they have survived where several other varieties have not.) One of the mid-early daffodils to bloom.

The photo I entered was after several weeks of torrential rains that had beaten the blooms down when they were first opening. Usually they are very upright. They were still perfect for cutting.

I like this opinion

I love it, but do not have this variety of narcissus. I have a similar one with a dark orange trumpet and do not know its exact name. Its picture is in my garden postings.
