Re: daffodil 'Hawera'

Claire, I have been in awe of your gardening knowledge as I read your posts,
and I am happy to tell you that if I could grow just one daffodil it would
be 'Hawera'.  Long blooming, a lovely pale yellow that just matches the
native Erythronium and also looks great with the early blooming Dicentra
eximia, I would never want to be without it.
