Fl. rounded, 95 mm wide; perianth and other petaloid segments in three whorls, very broadly ovate, blunt, golden yellow, with slight white mucro, a little concave, with midrib showing, smooth and of heavy substance, overlapping half or more; the two outer whorls spreading or slightly inflexed; the center whorl strongly inflexed, with margins folded deeply inward; corona segments half the length of the petaloid segments and interspersed among them at center, tightly ribbed, orange-red, frilled.

The name ‘Southern Hospitality’ came about as a result of Frank Gaylon looking at blooms  at the Mitsch/Havens fields. He returned from the fields talking  about a very nice double daffodil that would probably grow very well in the Southern region.  And Frank was correct because this daffodil grew very well in the South.  Hence the name Southern Hospitality.
