Thanks for visiting the Freshcutky organic gardening channel. In the garden, I will answer some of the most common "gardening for beginners" type questions I get, including growing flowers from seed. Growing greens, growing flowers, and planting beautiful organic food is something I'm really passionate about. Thank you for joining me as I learn to grow flowers, cut flowers, vegetables, and much more. Freshcutky youtube channel and related media are for entertainment purposes only.
Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

Hello everyone, welcome back to the garden. This video is going to be my yearly annual
daffodil pool tour video. This is going to be a shortened version as you recall. I moved
thousands and thousands of daffodils to this new garden this year. I'll put a link to the video
in the cards right here that you can click on if you are interested in that and want to check it
out. Not to worry I have several other daffodil pool tour videos if you want to check those out
as well. I put those around in the cards in this video so you can check those out if you're
interested. There's also a playlist. So a very kind of shortened version of it this year but
let's get right on into this. The first one I am going to be looking at these are accent daffodils.
Accent daffodils are very similar to chromacolor if you ask me. I think I actually prefer
chromacolor more but these are very pretty. You have obviously those deep cups and those rich
salmon colors. Beautiful. Each cup is a little bit ruffly. These were a little bit smaller than
chromacolors that I've grown in the past but gorgeous nonetheless. The next one that I have
is labeled wave daffodil. However when I look up wave daffodil they are more white. Those outer
petals are white with the yellow inner double cup. Mine did not come this way so it makes me
wonder if mine have been switched which is a common thing that happens when you're buying
wholesale daffodils and import daffodils is that you'll get the wrong variety. So
um the identity of this variety is somewhat of a mystery. It could be wave
but I'm thinking it's not since it's the wrong color technically so it is what it is. Still
really pretty one nonetheless. The next one I want to show you obviously are one of my favorites.
This one is called flower surprise. Oh flower surprise has long been one of my favorites. I
actually splurged last year and bought quite a few of these. They are absolutely gorgeous. I had
to order them like a year and a half in advance in order to get them. But I mean look at that
salmon color and look at the ruffles on the inside. There is just there's so much I can say
you know there's only so much I can say about these things. These are definitely one of my
favorites for cut flower arranging and just sticking these in a vase by themselves are just
it's so gorgeous. I mean I can't even imagine being able to breed something so gorgeous like
I would be like this is it. Um anyway I know it's gratuitous amounts of footage of these flower
surprise daffodils but they're my favorite. I can't I just can't help it. I can't get enough
of them from start to finish. Their colors are just so so incredibly pretty. The next variety
that I want to show you is this yellow one. This one is called Spring Paradise. This is just a true
yellow double yellow. The double bits in the center are a bit darker than the outer paler yellow parts
which make them exceptionally pretty. Very very nice. Usually not a fan of just solid yellows in
the garden but I think these are so pretty they are the exception I believe. The next daffodil I
want to show you is one that is new to me. This one is called Mary Gay Lorette. They open they
first open in a kind of yellowish peachy kind of tone more on the orangey side when they first
open their split corona. However their true beauty really starts to unfurl when the flowers have
aged a bit and they go from this kind of orangey color to a very soft and very subtle kind of peachy
creamy pink color which I think is so stunning. The stems on them were kind of short this year.
Not sure if that is a you know just their characteristic or if that has to do with the
growing season. It was pretty warm throughout this growing season. The next one just a short little
clip here. These are cragfords. They remind me very much of geranium but a little bit shorter
than geranium and the flowers are a little bit smaller. Very cute. Not sure I would choose to
grow these again over something like the likes of geranium though. I think I prefer geranium.
Next daffodil we have here this one is called Fair As Well. I had originally ordered this one
because I had seen that the cups get really really big and I was not disappointed. These inner
ruffly cups of Fair As Well are enormous. Some of these flowers like were nearly the size of the
palm of my hand so definitely was not disappointed. I'm not so much on the yellow flowers. Again you
y'all already know that but very pretty. The cups the size of the cups definitely made up for what
they were lacking in terms of subtlety. These ones I could see these from so far away. They were just
the brightest one in the whole garden. This one here is the Delta daffodil. This is a beautiful
combination of white and orange. This is kind of a vibrant yellow orange. You can see the inner cup
has this unique streaking and kind of like a broken look to it. I really like this one. I was
surprised how much I really enjoyed this one. I would definitely want this one to stick around
and grow again. Next we have a returner. This is Salu. You might recall from this one from the
other videos. I just went ahead and picked some of the Salu to show you again just because they did
so well from the transplant. They're just a very simple double daffodil with a little bit of a kind
of yellow orange tint in the center. Very pretty. Next up in this super quick tour. This one is
called Green Garden. Green Garden has the outer yellow petals and a white cup. When they first
open up they're all pretty much yellow. Over time the cup fades to white. I really like this white
cup appearance. Again I'm not so sure I would grow this one specifically for cut flowers.
But still very pretty and very nice to have just here growing in the yard. There's this
peek of my very first seedling that I grew from seed. I grew this one about five years ago. Started
five years ago growing from seed. Also in the yard I have Golden Echo. Golden Echo is a gorgeous one.
It's more of the kind of smaller. I'm not sure if it's a Chisetta technically. But very small
little clustered yellow cups. Deep yellow cups. Very interesting looking. I'm trying to think of
what else I have here. This is Bridal Cheer. You can see Bridal Cheer. That double one that looks
kind of like. I think it kind of looks like popcorn. Bridal Cheer is or not Bridal Cheer. Bridal
Crown. I'm sorry I'm saying the words wrong. I was thinking I was combining cheerfulness in this one.
But this is Bridal Crown. It's got the orange and yellow bits in the center. Very double. Very pretty.
I think that is it for this video. I think Bridal Crown was the last one. I know that it was a quick
one and I know it's not as many varieties as my previous daffodil videos. Again don't forget to
check out the daffodil tour playlist. I think you'll really love it if you love daffodils and
you know learning different types to add to the garden and everything. I kind of like to make
kind of a virtual catalog for daffodil shopping. I love them so much.
Anyway as always links to everything is down in the description below. The blog, Patreon,
and everything else. It really helps me so much. Thank you for watching this video. It really means
a lot to me and I really do mean that. Without you and this channel just growing this garden
would not be possible. So I am so so thankful. I hope the weather is gorgeous wherever you are.
You totally deserve it. I hope that you're having a really great day and I'll talk to y'all later. Bye!
