    This historic, award-winning, division-2 yellow and white daffodil has been around for 75 years and is the result of 2 breeders joining forces, one from Great Britain and the other from Australia. The resultant cultivar is both seed and pollen fertile. It was used as a seed parent 51 times and as a pollen parent 20 times by other breeders all over the world up to the decade before last. It still can help create other significant crosses in this century.

    Binkie is a beautiful daffodil with a funnel-shaped cup of yellowish-white that changes to white. Some of the white bleeds into the greenish-yellow petals.

    Would be interesting to force. A bi-color daffodil.
