Favorite Daffodil so far...


This is a Salome Daffodil and is my favorite daffodil blooming in the garden so far. The problem is there is only one in bloom. I love how the stark white petals, sets off the multicolored cup. Here is a description of the daffodil.
The Daffodil 'Salome' has ivory-white petals that form a flat circle - that's the perfect backdrop for the trumpet-shaped cup, which changes from lovely yellow-apricot to salmon as the flower matures. The very edge of the cup is bordered in gold. The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in mid spring. They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders.
