Rosy Diamond-Tulip
Describing color can be difficult. There it is on the color wheel, but what to call it? Rosy Diamond is a purple with extra red in it. Is that burgundy? Too red. Maroon? Too dark. How about beautiful? That’s not a color, but it’s an accurate description. Especially lovely with pastel pinks and soft yellows.
Price: 10/$15 TWO UNITS LEFT
Scarlet Baby-Tulip
Starry red flowers, tinted pink, with a buttery base. They open bright and early in the spring, providing a welcome jolt of color. Scarlet Baby blooms at only half a foot tall, but its intensity makes it seem big.

Acropolis-Double Daffodil
Glistening white flowers with orange-red segments in the center. They are carried well above the foliage for easy viewing. Lovely in the garden and terrific in a vase, which also allows ready access to their spicy scent.

Erlicheer-Double Daffodil
Erlicheer is a sweetly scented double daffodil that bears 6 –12 small white
flowers on each stem. The flowers resemble miniature roses or gardenias and are easily as fragrant. Despite its name, Erlicheer is late by daffodil standards, blooming in midseason with the likes of Thalia. Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 8 Units Left
Queen’s Day-Double Daffodil
A double yellow named for the Dutch holiday. Queen’s Day is itself a celebration of what hybridizers can achieve—a sunny, beautifully shaped flower produced by a robust bulb. Will it wait until the end of April to bloom? Probably not, but you’ll be glad to have Queen’s Day on whatever schedule it prefers.

Pipe Major-Uncommon Daffodil
Yellow-orange daffodils are common, but Pipe Major stands out, perhaps because it blooms later than most, perhaps because the creamy yellow perianth is so easy on the eye. New to daffodils? An old hand? Either way, Pipe Major will be an emblem of your good taste.

Poeticus Recurvus-Uncommon Daffodil
Pheasant’s Eye. Breeders have done amazing things with daffodils over the past century, but it would be hard to improve on this wildflower. Graceful, reflexed white petals. Yellow cup ringed with red. Spicy scent. Lovely.
