I'm trying to identify this daffodil. I've got one clump in one of my beds. I took the picture today so it blooms a little later than Tete-a-Tetes. And, of course, it's a little taller. It looks like it has a double bloom and is pale yellow. I also have another clump that looks very similar but is white.
I was wondering if it was a Yellow Cheerfulness and the white clump was Cheerfulness.
Curious minds want to know. ;)

Looks like it could/might be y. cheerfulness--can't see the scale of the bloom or if there are two or more blooms on the stem...I have both cheerfulness's blooming, too, and I thought I bought just the white to bloom with my azaleas...Oh, well.

Looks like Yellow Cheerfulness to me. Here's a picture for comparison.

Hey, that looks like the noid daff I just posted on the other thread.... Are the blooms quite small on 'Yellow Cheerfulness' (like maybe just 2 inches across)?
Here's mine... it's more of a cream color, with a little butter yellow in the center...

critterologist, if everyone is right, and I think they are, then your's is a Cheerfulness. I seem to have one clump as well. But then again, it doesn't look quite right -- maybe it's a Yellow Cheerfulness, too. It's easy to confuse me!

And a close-up.
flowerfrenzy, I looked at double daffs in PlantFiles before posting, which made me think it was a Yellow Cheerfulness, but wanted to get a second opinion as plant identification isn't a strong suit. ;)

Whatever they are, they sure do look like the same variety!
'Cheerfulness' seems like a pretty good bet for ID... I'm not sure there are too many small double daffs with multiple blooms per stem (would that make it a Tanzetta type daff?).
