(More if you include those with orange-pink coronas.) For the commoner cultivars see http://www.thedaffodilsite.co.uk/Gui...P-D4-page1.htm -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

If I can find that Squirrel then I have a job for it and all the bird food it can eat. |

It makes me wonder how large a territory squirrels have and if a more distant neighbour grows fancy daffs. Anyway, if you like your new daff that much, just enjoy it. You may never know from whence it came. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

No. All those I bought were single yellow trumpet forms, and no free bulb to try. I don't even know where you might get a single daff bulb. |

We had one really beautiful Anemone of the most gorgeous violet colour and Raymond has a pink Hardenbergia that came with some white and purple ones years and years ago.
