Achduart
Pronounced O-me-O-my; Fl. forming a double triangle, 102 mm wide; perianth segments very broadly ovate, blunt, yellow, with a reddish tinge, spreading, with margins incurved, smooth with heavy substance; inner segments narrower; cup is bowl-shaped, ribbed, orange-red, with mouth straight and even, rim crenate. Resembles a larger-flowered ‘Achduart’ with a reddish tinge to the perianth segments. Siblings ‘Country Boy’ and ‘Garfield’.
Originally planned to name this daffodil ‘Winsome’ after a keen daffodil exhibitor, Winsome Saunders. Since ‘Winsome’ was already taken, Ms. Saunders suggested ‘Omeomy’, meaning an exclamation of great delight.
