Favorite Daffodil

And CG doesn't remember what kind they are. But there will be more of them next year. They're very fragrant and long-lasting as cut flowers (and inexpensive...probably $5 for a half dozen).

CG's daffodil strategy for 2010 is twofold:

1. establish a few mass plantings of same type daffs (of the Carlton and Bravoure variety)

2. establish more isolated groupings of different varieties (at least 6)

CG enjoys having a wide variety of daffodils, from simple traditional solid yellow trumpets, to the very complex and powerful doubles. An order for a fall shipment of daffodils has already been placed: Double Campernelle, Misty Glenn, and Flower Record. With transplants coming from the farm bed in a few weeks, next spring is looking better already.
