  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Feb 25, 2018 2:32 PM concerning plant:
    This classic daffodil bred mid last century by Guy Wilson (considered the best breeder of all whites in the 1900's), is both seed and pollen fertile. As a seed parent, it's been utilized 7 times to produce named descents; as a pollen parent 22 times. Last noted use was in 2007.

    Looks like it would be a good forcer.
