description for "Daffodils and Narcissus: Narcissus 'Salome'"
'Salome' blooms with white petals that perfectly frame an almost trumpet-length coral-pink cup, rimmed gold at the tips. Often a show winner. One of the showiest and most popular of all spring bulbs, the daffodil remains forever Nature's supreme achievement in gracious informality. Nearly all daffodils are easy going and long-lived bulbs that you will enjoy for years to come. Division 2: Large-cupped Daffodils of Garden Origin--Distinguishing characters: one flower to a stem; the cup is more than one-third, but less than equal to the length of the petal segments. By far the most popular of the twelve divisions, possibly half of all registered varieties are large cups.
