Mt. Hood Narcissus. This creamy delight starts out looking as if it will be just a normal yellow daffodil, but just wait a few hours after it opens and you'll be rewarded with this beautiful lemon yellow cream flower.
Dutch Master Narcissus. The first daffodil out of the ground this spring---sunny, cheerful and bright, with nice long stems.
For longest vase life, we cut the flowers before they open all the way. Some varieties look very different once they are open. The Cum Laudes look almost yellow when they are just starting to open, but mature into a very different flower.
Cum Laude Narcissus. Latin for "With honor," the Cum Laudes also bring elegant beauty to any bouquet with their pleated peach petals. They start out yellow and transform over the course of a day or two into this lovely peach color.
Here's a Cum Laude bunch that's about 2 days old, with salmon-pink edges on the center petals surrounded by white petals.
