    There is something that drives you when you hear the name "Voodoo''! After seeing it on the show benches year after year, winning prizes, I put it in my ''must have'' box! This year, I managed to purchase 3 from Jackson's. Beautiful!

    This yellow daffodil w. the swept back wing looking petals resembles 'Abracadabra' and 'Alacabam'. RHS description - '
    Perianth segments very broadly ovate, with slight white mucro, strongly reflexed, with margins inward rolling, smooth, with faint midrib showing, overlapping almost half; the inner segments more narrowly ovate, a little less strongly reflexed; corona cylindrical, smooth at base, lightly ribbed towards mouth, mouth flared, deeply 6-lobed, even, rim notched and crenate.'

    Good choice for forcing.
