mmm.... would you say the petals are "slightly recurvus" and are every two blooms 'tete a tete'---that is, facing each other as if in conversation?

Here's a nice description of 'tete a tete' from Langeveld:

"Tete a tete" is named so because they flower in profuse pairs facing one another in a most charming fashion. They are extremely popular due to its ease of culture, perfect form, vigor, and prolific blooms. They produce at least two dainty, bright yellow flowers with slightly recurved petals. They will continue to flower for years and years.

And here's a nice pic of "Little Gem" from Langeveld .... they say "Little Gem" is two-toned...

Hard to tell what you may have, but now you've piqued my interest---I have both in my garden and I'm going out to take a look!

BTW, today I went to the Midwest Daffodil Show and saw quite a few miniatures...more than I ever knew existed! Here's a pic of some minis and micro-minis...
