The weather has not been great for daffodils–sunny and warm one day, rainy and stormy the next. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be near 80F, so I expect some wilting. Color has not been great. Top row, left to right: ‘Geometrics’, N. fernandesii var. cordubensis (known in some places as N. cerrolazae), and ‘Honeybird’. Bottom photo is ‘Lemon Desire’.
Mary Lou,
I see you can grow N. cordubensis outdoors, as do I. It withstands some frost good.

Hi Theo,
Yes, N. fern. var. cordubensis grows well outdoors here, as do many others in the Jonquilla Section. The exception is N. assoanus which barely survives here. And those in the Apodanthi Section, like N. rupicola and N. scaberulus just do not survive at all. I have N. jonquilla from various places which do well.

One daffodil seedling of mine blooming this week that has been a good garden flower in bloom now, my seeling 97-22, put on a nice display this year. The flowers of all that bloomed were quite well-formed. –Plus the orange color of the perianth was quite noticeable this year, though the orange is a light orange. It is an intermediate. The diameter is 76mm.
Here is one from a few years back goring in my garden, and it is still an excellent daffodil! It is Loch Lundie.
It has good form here every year.
