A description from Mrs. Florence Edna Foote’s 1939 issue of List of my Choice Daffodils: “I bought this flower from Mr. Secrett, who owns all the stock, when I saw it growing in his garden. I took some of the flowers back to the hotel and enjoyed their lovely freshness for a week. Mr. Secrett showed it at the 1932 R.H.S. Show. Mr. Guy Wilson, an excellent critic and one of the best of a famous group of hybridisers, in writing a report of the show says, “Mr. Secrett showed a most outstanding novelty named ‘Easter Morn’, a beautiful flower on the border-line between Leedsii and Ajax, with white perianth and a well flanged trumpet crown of clear rose-pink: I think this is the least yellow bit of pink I have yet seen, as it looked most attractive in the bunch.” With me the pink tone is very faint, but decidedly noticeable and the two years it has bloomed for me I have been delighted with its fresh color and its splendid substance, both in trumpet and crown. The flower is large, well proportioned , and carried on a tall strong stem. It blooms with ‘True Charm’, giving me my two earliest pink-toned flowers at Easter time.”
