These are blooms from bulbs collected at SNR during one of GSLDS digs.  I divide the clumps and line them out in my garden to grow and bloom.  These appear 1 to 3 years after digging, and the color range in fantastic.  Each year brings more and different blooms.  Many clumps are not blooming, so it could be anything- hybrid, lost historic,  or a great show flower, when they do bloom.  We are a registered American Daffodil Society Display Garden and will be open for all who wish to see and tour the gardens and walking trails.  We are located about 40 miles north of the convention hotel in Brighton, IL.   Way over 50,000 blooms planted over a few acres.  The main gardens are flat and accessible, the trails in the back 40 are hilly.  Most of the SNR collected bulbs are in the main gardens.  Hope to see you at the World Daffodil Convention.
