Winter Daffodils Blooming in Oakley

Daffodil Friends,

Here are  some photos of daffodils blooming in my daffodil patch today (January 8). The first two photos are of an unregistered viridiflorus seedling from Manuel Lima. Fast-increasing, long-lasting blooms, these have been in bloom for a month. Their lack of distinction has caused me to call them “Lima Ordinaire.”

The next photos are of Koopowitz’ ‘Tequila Sunrise’ a group with several clones which in my garden bloom over a nearly two-month period . This clone has been blooming for a month.

The next bloom is Manuel Lima’s ‘Limanade.’ Manuel had it marked as likely ‘Jetfire’ x viridiflorus but possibly ‘El Camino’ x viridiflorus.

Here is ‘Lima’s Winter Moon’ – ‘Easter Moon’ x viridiflorus

Harold Koopowitz made a excellent cross: ‘Habit’ x ‘Emerald Sea’. Here are blooms of several seedlings that resulted. Perhaps I can convince him to register these as a group.

Finally, blooms of various viridiflorus seedlings of mine. These are first-generation viridiflorus seedlings; my second-generation seedlings will be blooming in the next month.
