Tabasco,
Grant Mitsch has the reputation as THE dean of U.S. daffodil breeding, having started in the 30's (he died a few years back, but the company and breeding have been carried on by his daughter and son-in law). I think his ultimate goal was a true red cup daffodil, and they ARE getting close, though the very newest hybrids with the reddest cups I think are smaller cups so far (I can only drool over the pictures, as even I, who once spent $60 on a cypripedium that I accidentally dropped a big rock on and killed, can't bring myself to spend close to a hundred dollars on a daffodil bulb).
