I am extremely grateful to Ballydorn Bulb Farm: Killinchy, Co. Down the Daffodil Registrar, Sally Kington, for her collaboration, 188 cultivar registered. and most especially for providing me with alphabetic lists of cultivars for the raisers. ‘Aldringham’: raised 1968; registered 1978 ‘Annalong’: 1982 Origins unknown ‘Ardglass’: raised 1972; registered 1983 ‘Ardmillan’: raised 1986; registered 1996 ‘Big Irish Spurius’ ‘Ballygowan’: raised 1981; registered 1993 before 1886 name – note that this is probably not a valid cultivar name, but ‘Ballykinler’: 1994 it was a convenient moniker used by daffodil enthusiasts. ‘Ballymaster’: 1967 ‘It increases slowly, making bulbs larger than any other trumpet ‘Ballymorran’: raised 1982; registered 1994 Daffodil, some of the bulbs producing four or five scapes. The ‘Ballynahinch’: raised 1982; registered 1994 flower, though less bright in colour and different in shape, rivals ‘Ballynichol’: raised 1977; registered 1989 in size those of the true N. maximus.’ ‘Ballyward’: 1982 Origin: ‘Nobody knows its origin ...’ – a daffodil that ‘Baltic Shore’: 1991 populates the pages of horticultural periodicals in the ‘Barleygold’: raised 1980; registered 1990 1880s, and obviously known from Irish gardens. C. Wolley ‘Barleywine’: 1993 Dod was one who wrote about it. ‘Best of Luck’: 1983 ‘Braddock’: 1980 With your remark that this Daffodil deserves a better ‘Brave Adventure’: 1979 name I quite agree, for it is nearly the finest variety of ‘Bridesmaid’: 1970 Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus in cultivation. ... I first ‘Cantala’: 1968 received flowers of it, followed by a hamper of bulbs ‘Canticle’: 1984 about seven years ago, from a lady on whose father’s ‘Capisco’: 1969 land it grew near the river Blackwater, in the county of ‘Carlingford’: 1992 Cork. It grows there still ... It flowers with me here ‘Castlehill’: raised 1971; registered 1981 nearly as early as the Tenby Daffodil, coming out in ‘Charity Fair’: 1983 average season the first week in March ...
