  2. Thanks Oleg,
    I have learnt a new word today. I have often seen this happen in dahlias but never before in a daffodil. As the cultivar is normally white would w-w not be more accurate?

  3. Perhaps, but
    1. The color of the flower determines the large area covered by this color.
    2. In your report variety name is not given.
    3. If the flower has color – is a dominant trait relatively with white.
    4. These flowers are characteristic of chimeras – in their segment of the
    flower fades coloring. Of course, it is possible to say, this can be
    otherwise. But – then where did the white variety took the yellow pigment?

  4. Hi Dave,

    I noticed one of these many years ago. It did not re-appear.

    I recall that Marie Parton had a strain of Content that would reliably produce blooms with a differently colored segment. I recall it was yellow with white segments but may be mistaken. She called it ‘Discontent’. I bred with it of course and just last year and this year discarded all but one seedling from this line – Discontent x Lutana. A mistake? Hopefully not.

    There is a hint here that your flower might be amenable to breeding reverse bicolors. That could be very useful if it doesn’t already have reverses in its ancestry.

    As for color coding, my guess is that you can’t and you don’t need to. Describing it as 2Y-Y (2/3) 2W-W (1/3) gives a reasonable indication of the flower.

  5. Hi Dave,

    it is quite possible that the written lawrence is true.
    Then this case is the failure of the genetic program of reverse Bicolors.
    As for the color code I join lawrence. opinion. But still advised to
    observe at least one or two years of its flowering.
