Unidentified explosion

[Ross Barbour]

I have this growing in the garden and am very curious as to what it might be. I think it is from division 11. Its quite large.

Looks familar, Ross - though I'm struggling.....
  some thoughts:

'Dick Wilden' is similar.... http://www.rvroger.co.uk/imglib/narcissus_dick_wilden.jpg

green/virussed 'Irene Copeland'  http://www.flickr.com/photos/chanwu/2449761193/# - heading the  way of yours.  :>)

You can see a more usual 'Irene Copeland' on this page : http://croft16daffodils.co.uk/products-page/division-4-double-daffodils-of-garden-origin/ but it's a two-tone white /yellow, of course.
On that same page, see also the old  hybrid " Butter and eggs' - but again yours is more a yellow/yellow.....  

[Maggi Young]

'Argent ' is another similar form - wrong colour again .......

[Maggi Young]

 Might it be a double Narcissus obvallaris -   usually it is not so split but I found this page which shows how it can really split wildly.....

It looks to me like our old friend, 'Van Sion' - Telamonius Plenus

Could be , fermi - but that's a daff which seems to be so hugely variable that it's tough to pin down. I thought it "mostly" had a tendency to be more regular, symmetrical ?

Maggi,
I think it "mostly" has a tendency to be variable
One of the first doubles I ever saw and so it still has a place in my heart,
cheers

Quite a number of truly horrible daffodils have appeared in these pages, so the competition is fierce. Nevertheless, this easily takes first prize.

[Lesley Cox]

Well said Gerry.

[Ross Barbour]

How very dare you Gerry, I have some more that would beat this one and I may well just post them so I can imagine your horrified face. Tee hee hee
