Origin of Name

Dave Karnstedt was very fussy about the daffodils that he liked. They needed to point high and be aesthetically beautiful. In other words, approaching perfection! This late 2Y-O is one such flower that Dave seemed to really admire during one of his visits to Oakwood, hence the name.
