Comments

Fl. forming a double triangle, 121 mm wide; perianth segments broadly ovate, pure white, spreading, very smooth, overlapping half; the inner segments a little inflexed, with margins wavy; corona funnel-shaped, ribbed, with pale yellow at base, with rim narrowly rolled and obscurely crenate.

According to New Zealand Daffodil Historian, John Hunter, ‘Truth’ was from either a selection in 1933 (cross 22/7) or 1934 (23/6). The breeding of both of these crosses was ‘Naxos’ x 16/99. In Wilson’s pedigree book for that period, along side cross No. 23/6 is written ‘TRUTH’ ? with an arrow referring back to No. 22/7. It would appear he was in some doubt as to which selection ‘Truth’ came from.
