<< I just bought some special bulbs that might interest those who were
 looking for orange flowers a while back.  They are Daffodils called
 Orangery.  The picture that came with them looks quite unusual - the
 trumpets on the the daffs are flat (sort of squashed) and orange.

In the daffodil world we call these "split corona" daffodils.  The trumpet is
actually split, usually all the way to the base and it lays flat against the
perianth segments.  Some of the purists don't like this type of daffodil; I
am quite fond of them though and more and more are coming onto the market,
including pink "cup" with white perianths.  Some people also call these
"orchid" or "butterfly" daffodils, but "split corona" is really more
descriptive.
