Clay sorry you are under the weather and not able to garden as we all like to. I just had a great Clay Higgins seedling bloom but it is the incorect classification. When sent to me it was marked 14-28 2W-P. As you
can see it is clearly a 1W-Y in the photo below a week ago. Today it is a 1W-W 100mm. Smooth and multiplies very well. Can you identify?
Very nice! Bill, in my seedling garden that same cross is 1W-Y this
year. The only difference is that mine are more a Div 2W-Y this year.
I have found out that there is a difference in weather from where I raised
them in NC near the hot outer banks and in NJ where it is much colder.
Many of my crosses are blooming with slightly different color codes in NJ
than they had in NC. When I was in Maryland, my ‘Glenfarclass’ 1Y-O was
really 1Y-Y. I went to judges school in Dallas (this was long years ago)
and was shocked to find the ‘Glenfarclass’ was really 1Y-O.
In another case my ‘Artie Lemons’ 10W-Y is blooming 10Y-Y mostly in NJ,
with some 10W-Y. I don’t know what to make of it.
So I will not apologize for that color 1W-Y. It looks like the yellow that
can easily turn pink in the right weather. My ‘Nikki KoKo’ 2W-GYP that
fades to 2W-P has that same yellow color when it blooms.
Keep hybridizing.
regards, :-)

Bill,
I took a picture with my cell phone of my seedling 14-28 and it looks a lot
like yours. I usually color code and number my seedlings on the year that
they first bloom, until then they are maintained as simply marked as the
cross: e.g., Pink Silk X Pink China and the year of the original cross. I
have noted that the original bloom is not always the final color code of
the daffodil.
However, here is a picture of my 14-28. It’s not a good as yours but it is
a div 1w-(p) (very light pink – almost white) this year.

Clay Higgins Seedling – Mismarked so I need help
Bill, I thank you for trying to make me look bad. But I think the seeding is marked correctly. I mark my seedling as they first bloom. However there are many factors that cause a daffodil, in any one year, to not look as it was classified. My daffodil 14-28 2W-P looks like a 2W-P (with the pink being very light this year.) This is a seedling. I hope that some day someone calls you out in the public because one of your seedling isn’t true to the color code you gave it. This year Banker 2Y-O looks 2Y-Y but it is still Banker. Golden Amber 2Y-OOY looks like 2W-Y, but it’s still Golden Amber.
