Comments

A description according to Mrs. Florence Edna Foote’s 1939 issue of “List of my Choice Daffodils”: A large flower with pale yellow perianth and expanded yellow crown, broadly margined with red. It is a very rapid multiplier and is of special interest to hybridisers, or at least to me, because I have found that it is one of the very few red-cup varieties that can be used both as seed parent and pollen parent. I have crossed it with Heades, Sunstar and others, nad have had full seed pods in every case. I like it also as a flower.”

There is a question if this daffodil is the same as ‘Mrs. H. Ray’.
