Ok, dumb question time; I have a rescued clump of daffs in bloom, which we’ve always just assumed was Carlton.
I don’t grow Carlton, and don’t know anyone nearby who does to really compare against.
Went on DaffSeek, there are no photos of the flower in profile.
Am I correct in a hazy recollection that Carlton has some green going up the back of the petals, at least when first opening?
And is the tube pretty extended past the anthers?
Thanks a bunch…

Sara: I have a few Carlton in bloom right now: here are photos. Let me know if there is some other view you’d like. Melissa
Hello Melissa, I fear your supplier gave you a substitute trumpet instead of the real ‘Carlton’ – but whatever you have it is a better looking flower than the real thing. Unless ‘Carlton’ really changes in California?? Nice pictures. Brian
G’day All, This is my photo of Carlton. It has been in my garden for about 25 years. Regards Brenda from down under
