from Thes contains these words:


I've been asked to identify a flower by my mother, and I can tell it's a
daffodil (I have a picture, but nowhere to put it - or the know-how).
It's a double-flowered variety with a white cup, but the unusual thing
is that the inner ruffly petals are a mix of white and green.


Could be n. poeticus florepleno, which is a very old variety..late
flowering and scented.

Can't find my daffodil and bulb books. A house without bookshelves is
a house with many frustrations, as Pete didn't say :-(

It's not that one, though that IS a beauty. There's another N. poeticus
called "Green Pearl" which is a favourite.

But this one is more like the modern, fluffy doubles; like a green
version of "White King". In fact, I'm beginning to think it quite
possibly is "White King" with the unusual green brought about by early
flowering or strange weather. Who knows.

Thanks for the reply!
