Daydream x N. jonquilla
Hillstar
Fls 2 per stem, facing upwards, deep golden yellow; perianth segments very broadly ovate, mucronate, a little reflexed, plane or with margins incurling, smooth and of heavy substance, overlapping half; the inner segments narrower, scarcely mucronate, more nearly spreading; corona funnel-shaped, mouth ribbed and wavy, with rim minutely crenate.
Dr. Frank Galyon had a goal of producing well formed deep yellow jonquil hybrids which were fertile. He succeeded in this one. Good size deep golden flowers, generally 2 per stem, the long cylindrical cup is derived from ‘Limequilla’, perhaps the slight frill at the border from ‘Hillstar’.
