It had to happen sooner or later, but today was the day that I found a split corona daffodil (Narcissus agg.) in a wild setting. My feigned disgust is a little tongue in cheek as on its own merits its a brightly coloured and quirky flower, but lets be honest its not really what anyone wants from a daffodil.
This cultivar seems to be 'Cassata' which starts off bright yellow and then fades. I had always assumed this type of daffodil was a recent development. But the invaluable DaffSeek website states that it is a relatively old cultivar that was registered in 1963.
