This is a daffodil at Tonkins Bulbs last week.
It's from Brian Duncan, a seedling from 'Foundling' but I'm not sure if it was sent here as seed or a bulb,

I am no daff expert but what would the cause of the reversion be?
Cheers

Hi Jeff,
I don't understand the science fully but 'White Marvel' is a sport of 'Tresamble' and I guess it simply reverted to what it had been previously, similar to the way a variegated plant reverts to plain green.
