| I have a "thing" or fondness for white daffodils esp. those with white perianth and pink/apricot cup. My favorites are Fragrant Rose and Perfect Lady. Can you share your favorite cultivars? I am looking to add a few new ones next year. Does anyone grow Winter Waltz? |

| I too love Thalia. They grow and multiply very well for me. Are there any other that you like? I already have these Geranium Pink Pride Pink Charm Accent Passionale Perfect Lady British Gamble Fragrant Rose Merlin Cha Cha Salome Minnow Wiseley Green Eyed White Cheerfulness Ice Follies used to have Stainless but they disappeared over the years. Mallee Chapelet I am looking for other good ones that are not listed above. Thanks. |

| We grow Ice Follies as well. Many that you have listed won't linger here in zone 8b. Did you ask this question on Houzz as well? |

@jmorth  Jmorth! WOW! The above all are gorgeous! I must narrow down to 5 though! Do you think Niveth, Kaydee, Snowbaby, Icewings, and Surfside are good ones to start with? Can't decide between Icewings and Snowboard? They look similar. I must get Snowbaby and Kaydee!  |
central Illinois jmorth Dec 11, 2018 8:31 PM CST |
| Thankyou for the acorn Karen. Those 5 are excellent. Niveth I usually get from Old House Gardens, Kaydee is carried by McClure and Zimmerman. Snowbaby (a miniature), Icewings and Surfside came from Brent and Becky's. Snowboard (1 flower per stem) is taller than Icewings and it is outfacing while Icewings, a div. 5 daffodil. is somewhat pendent (the bloom) and has 2 or 3 blooms per stem.  Ice Wings & Kaydee. Kaydee is usually taller than this depiction. I'll try to find a better pic.Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |

| It is so beautiful! I have been looking for a white like this which does not have too big of a cup. Thanks so much, Jmorth for these recommendations, pics, and the places to get them from. Save me alot of time searching. Do you have these planted in full sun or some shade? Which location do they perform well in? |

| Most of mine are in full sun. Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |

| My new favorite is Princess Zaide. https://www.johnscheepers.com/... There is no picture in the database. Hopefully I will be able to remedy that come spring. "Luck favors the prepared mind." - Thomas Jefferson |

| Nice one Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |

| Thanks Evelyn! Is Princess Zaide a late or early bloomer for you? |

kousa said:Thanks Evelyn! Is Princess Zaide a late or early bloomer for you? Karen ~ Honestly, I do not recall. I will have to make a note of it. Our springtime is often a recipient of a late snow, mostly in April. It does play havoc with scheduled bloomtimes. "Luck favors the prepared mind." - Thomas Jefferson |

| No problem! If you can let me know what other bulbs bloom with them, I can get a good guess its approximate bloom time in my zone. Thanks. |

I like white daffodils too. My favorite has always been Thalia. The others I have are Stainless and Misty Glen for large cups , Ice Wings and Petrel for the tinier daintier size. A new one to me last season was Starlight Sensation from Brent and Beckys. @jmorth thanks for the lists and photos - saw a few that will go on my want list for planting next fall  Pinterest Boards: https://www.pinterest.com/aspe...

| @aspenhill My pleasure. Thalia is excellent, reliable, and forcible. I forced that one (Starlight) a couple of years ago. Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |
Name: Karen Southeast PA (Zone 6b) kousa Dec 18, 2018 9:19 PM CST |
| Terri, I have been thinking about Misty Glen too! I plan to add Icewings next year. Though I really like the bicolor white ones that change colors as they mature. |
