A friend found this picture on Pinterest from a Dutch company. Does any know its name and hybirdizer? My friend would like to purchase it. Doesn’t any know if it is available and where?

Hi Ceci,
To my eye and from a pure form standpoint, the photo looks remarkably similar to Murray Evans ‘Replete’. The color is way, way “off” and looks to be “shifted” or altered. If your friend is looking to purchase bulbs based on form, things will be OK. If your friend wants to buy this based on color, they will be horribly disappointed.
Color shifts like this are often blamed on the physical color printing process. It may well be that some bulb merchants (thankfully very few) have marketing departments with a heavy hand and overactive imaginations. Such “enhanced” colors do sell bulbs but ultimately turn off and disappoint customers.

Having grown ‘Replete’ in the past, I believe that Steve is correct in calling it ‘Replete.’ However, the color is way off. Pehaps the image was’photoshopped’ to enhance the color! Yes, there have been bulb merchants out there that have not been truthful in their color rendition of daffodils!

Ceci, you see this discolouration in many flower catalogues and mass produced photographs it occurs during printing. To my knowledge the only person with a flower getting toward the colour you seek is Harold with his little P-P, but am sure every breeder in the world would like one as in the photograph you sent!
I also think it is Replete 4W-P.

Definitely photoshopped. Notice the near perfect layout of 3 rows of descending height from back to front along with an alternating 3 – 4 – 3 spacing as if they were staged for a show.

In our newspaper yesterday there was a story of orange agapanthus on the West Coast of New Zealand. Nurserymen were salivating at the thought of a unique colour break. It was only when they came calling that the home owner confessed to the use of a can of spray paint. Fact remains the aggies certainly stopped a few roadside admirers.
