Can anyone - 'Name that daffodil?!'

Posted by Claire_W 6 (My Page) on

Hi all
Are there any experts out there who could possibly identify this daffodil? It's growing in open fields by our cottage in south-west Ireland, pretty much naturalised and doing it's own thing.

It's a beautiful daff, I'd love to know what it is. Before we moved 4 years ago the cottage had no occupants for 25 years, and the old lady who lived there until then had a son who worked in a nursery (or something), so perhaps he got the bulbs originally.

Cheers
Claire

Claire that is such a pretty daffodil. I would love some of them in my garden. I have no idea what it is called but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is, and to think that you just have them all around you in fields. How wonderful. I just have a few daffodils in my garden and did plant some dwarf ones to come up in my front garden. They looked so pretty when they all came up.
If you would like to see any of my flowers or garden I have a website which you can find on www.the-horsfalls.co.uk which also now links to a forum we are trying to set up.

Hi Alison!

How lovely to hear from you, yes it's a gorgeous daffodil isn't it? And what a shame about the timing - I had a whole bucket full of bulbs to give away last september - I would gladly have posted some to you in Leeds! I sent some to my Mum in Devon and also gave loads away to workmates in west Cork. Because of re-locating to the US for now it meant that I couldn't do all the planting etc. that I wanted to, so the next best thing was to give them to my friends instead. I still have several clumps in my garden (the part that used to be field!) so maybe I can get some over to you some time!

I went and had a look at your website. WOW!!! What an excellent web site and what an amazing pond project! That is major engineering/construction, I am so impressed! I shall be bookmarking your site and going back to it another time for a longer browse. I am very interested in your pond and how it's turned out. As you can see from my link, I too was going to do a pond, it was to be my Autumn 04 project but that was not to be! I got a bit further than the outline, the hole was started, but it's just full of weeds now. But next year, yes!

Well, never mind if you didn't know the daffodil name, perhaps someone else will!

Nice to meet you
Claire
