Comments

Perianth segments broadly ovate, blunt, slightly mucronate, creamy white, a little inflexed, plane, overlapping one-third to a half; the inner segments more strongly inflexed, a little twisted; corona funnel-shaped, soft primrose yellow, with mouth expanded and broadly ribbed, rim crenate.

According to The American Horticultural Society’s 1937 issue of the The American Daffodil Year Book, Guy L. Wilson’s article “Some Modern Daffodils for Garden Decoration” states: “The only bicolor to gain an Award of Merit at the Wisley Trials was ‘Mrs. E. C. Mudge’, a fine plant, which is sent out by Messers. Barr & Sons, of London. It is a splendid large bold flower of much substance, and might be described as a much improved and smoother ‘Weardale Perfection’.”
