Comments

Fl. rounded, 95 mm wide; perianth segments very broad in outline, rounded at apex and sometimes truncate, mucronate, spreading, plane, overlapping half; the inner segments only slightly narrower, blunt, a little inflexed; corona shallow bowl-shaped, ribbed, white, with gray-green at base and bright apple blossom pink at rim, mouth widely expanded, split in places and overlapping, rim closely and minutely crenate. Resembles a better-poised ‘Syracuse’ in form. Sister to ‘Tishomingo’.

Origin of Name

Part of Brian Duncan’s “World Daffodil Trip Series”. Named for a scenic California Central Coast beach-town.
