    The depth of color for orange rim is dependent upon climatic variables.

    The International Daffodil Register & Classified List has two entries under Bella Vista. The other one is a registered division 3 daffodil (small cup) w/ white perianth and a yellow red cup (W - YYR). This other one is aka 'Trident'.
