You've posted pretty pictures... how about one that's not so great? Here are my ugly-duckling daffodils - unfortunately, they don't get any better than this. I got two bulbs of this five years ago - they were rogues in a batch of bulbs that I actually wanted. Since then the darn things have multiplied and I have about 20. The picture shows some of the better flowers - often they do not open properly because the petals get caught up in the frilly cup. The petals have rough edges and the cup tends to be very ragged. I guess this was either a mutant or a failed breeding experiment that inadvertently escaped.
