      Thank you, Anne. This variety was one of the first hybrids that had peachy hues, now there are quite a few in various forms. I love the clean ivory of the perianth.

    The visual “sound” of those trumpets signals the beauty of spring.

    Those grow beyond ‘peachy- keen!’

    I can never get enough of these….so many beautiful varieties.

      IKR? Once can become obsessed with them. I love that the season is long with the early, mid- and late-season varieties. This heat, though, is throwing them over fast. But so much more is coming along, I don’t mind. 🙂

    Gorgeous!!!🙂 Do you think they would survive my backyard?

    I’ve never seen these, and they raise daffodils to a whole new level for me. I will say that ‘peach trumpets’ sounds like the name of an especially fetching desssert, probably made with puff pastry.

      Yes, it does, doesn’t it? Something with a rich, creamy filling! Better that a ‘peach strumpet,’ which would take us down a much different path. 😉

    Beautiful Peach Trumpets so well photographed. Thank you for making a rainy weekend much better!

      Thank you, Hien. The mid-Atlantic sure is getting a lot of rain lately. We’re hoping for a bit of it to head our way in the next day or so.

    How lovely! I would have thought they were simply different coloured daffodils. Now I know better 🙂

    Gorgeous color. I’m surprised when I see daffodils now as ours have been over and done for months. While you’re finally able to luxuriate in spring, we’ve already landed in summer.

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Yes, many planting zones separate us! We had a cool spring making things slow down and last, but things changed last Thurs. when summer temps showed up and blasted the tulips and half the daffs. One more day and the temps will return to more normal May temps in the 70s, but it won’t last…more heat is in the forecast. The leaf canopy has exploded turning our world kelly-green!

    Such a lovely shot. I don’t think I’ve seen trumpets in nature before, but I’m loving them. Plus, in general, I’m a fan of that peach and coral palette. It’s softly joyful. You capture nature like a boss. How did you cultivate your photographic eye?

    Perfect title. It’s a lovely daffodil. I agree with the comment above–you really have a keen photographic sense.

    I’m joining the chorus of admirers, Eliza. This is not a color combination I had ever seen before.
