Named in honor of Mr. Higgins’ father. The hybridizer was one of the younger in a large family of eleven with older nieces and nephews. All called his father Grandpa. Also, his father went by the name of W.A., a tag given him when in the Army from WWI, by those who knew him. Hence the daffodil name of Grandpa W.A..
