Farewell Blithe Spirit

My favourite daffodil Bravoure (AGM) which used to win me first prize in spring garden shows when I did these.AGM means Award of Garden Merit, awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society. This is the one I reported on last year, when the bulb company sent me the wrong bulbs. They sent these free however - well done, De Jager. 'Farewel'l because they are just beginning to fade.

Since the first daffodil to bloom was on Chjristmas day, and the last are still in bud, this is a really rewarding flower.


My next favourite s are Pheasant Eye daffodils, named for their small 'eye'. This one is multi-headed.
 Some have a slightly greeny centre.
