Description according to Reed’s 2011 catalog: “intense red color in its trumpet-shaped corona.”.

Origin of Name

Named and registered by Dr. John Reed and his words about how this daffodil received its name: “Dave Sheppard and I formed a close friendship when we met at my first ADS Convention in 1977. After visiting Oakwood he offered me a Bill Pannill seedling that he felt would be of value in my breeding program. I was shocked to see the intense red color in its trumpet-shaped corona. I wondered if I could stretch that red corona to a full trumpet with breeding and I did. The color of the first seedlings were amazing including one with a copper-tone perianth and a deep red trumpet. This Pannill seedling started an American Revolution in my breeding of orange trumpets. A striking flower for garden and breeding. Named with the permission of Bill Pannill.
