I've just been spending a few days identifying a mystery Div. 2 daff that grows in the garden here. The Donalds' website was an invaluable resource and they have been more than helpful in providing comments and assistance too. Cannot recommend their website highly enough http://croft16daffodils.co.uk/ if only to drool over some of those vintage beauties.

Hi Anne,
We think it is probably 'Golden Mary'. One of many very similar vintage Div. 2 daffies (a Leedsii incomp.). We'll know for sure when we can compare them side by side when they flower next spring.

You can see what Kate and Duncan have as 'Golden Mary' here:

And here's my plant:


I live next door to St Mary's church, so it would be quite apt if my plant was 'Golden Mary'!
