Carolmo--thanks for the very good info on the pink situation with daffs. I will copy and paste for my diary--thanks for posting.

Geesh--other people must have questions about what exactly is the color 'pink'---I looked it up on Wikipedia and here is the article--quite complex for such a simple color (or not)-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarisk_(color)#Pastel_pink Who knew?!?

Gem--Do you recall where you found your 'naturalizing mix'? Is is all pinks?

So many mentions of pink daffs--now I'm wanting a pink daff garden just to investigate further! But Illoquin, I'm not quite sure I go for 'Young Love' with that weird to me cup--am I too critical? That must be a Mitsch daff from the blue background color so it must be pretty special, I bet, though.

Illoquin--And don't forget to tell us about the Indy Daff show!? Would you consider making a new thread with your Indiana Daff Society photos--and maybe teach us a little bit about showing daffodils?? It would be most interesting (for me anyway!) and I'm sure others would find it so, too. (-:

A few of my not so pink but still pretty daffs--I think they are 'Accents' t.
