Comments

Perianth segments broadly ovate, blunt, very slightly mucronate, pure white, spreading, a little creased, with margins sometimes incurling, overlapping half; the inner segments narrower, a little inflexed, more heavily creased, very slightly twisted; corona bowl- or short funnel-shaped, widely expanded, ribbed, opening creamy yellow, becoming creamy white, with faint apricot yellow at rim, lightly frilled.

According to The American Horticultural Society’s 1937 issue of the The American Daffodil Year Book, Guy L. Wilson’s article “Some Modern Daffodils for Garden Decoration” states: “Those who like something more light and dainty will enjoy Hera, a beautifully formed medium-sized flower with a small cup that passes to pure white in the sunshine.”
