While I may have touched upon growing 'Pink Wonder' daffodil last season, I couldn't ignore it when it burst into bloom again - especially with our ongoing daffodil trial in the backyard cut flower garden. I originally began growing this flower as a part of a bargain split cup corona mix. Unlike 'Cassata' and 'Orangery,'…

Besides 'Avalanche' Narcissus, which I have already featured on the blog, I planted very few multi-flower daffodil types. Another variety, called 'Geranium' daffodil, has easily been one of the most production flowers in this year's cut flower patch. Let's take a closer look at this beauty! Upon first glance, I honestly wasn't quite impressed with…

Though completely unexpected, 'British Gamble' daffodil has easily become one of my top five daffodils that I grew this year. Though I did my best to take some good photos, I fear that strong rain made the process very difficult. I can't let a little bit of bad timing distract from the beauty of this…

I've always love daffodils, and the opportunity to try so many different types has been very special. I plan to continue making individual posts dedicated to each type that I'm growing. However, some of these "group" photos were just…

This month has been absolutely filled with flowers. It's amazing what can happen with a little bit of hardwork, investment, and patience. Today, I wanted to take a closer look at these gorgeous 'Acropolis' daffodils. These Narcissus were among the first that I ordered when I initially set out to explore the various "fancier" types…

Today, we're focusing on yet another lovely double flower. 'Replete' daffodils open to bright white, with peachy pastel shades around where one would anticipate the cup. As the flowers open, the peach color is much darker. I actually prefer the bloom after they have been open a few days. This allows the color to slowly…

'Flower Surprise' daffodils were some of the most expensive that I purchased last year. At the time, I could barely justify the price of about $2.10 each. After watching them come into bloom, I'm so glad that I did! 'Flower Surprise' daffodils are an insanely gorgeous double bloom. The color is stunning. New flowers open…
