Positive	nevadagdn	On Apr 18, 2005, nevadagdn from Sparks, NV (Zone 7a) wrote: I purchased this from Old House Gardens. The perianth hasn't proven to be completely white, but instead an even lovelier creamy-white with a faint lemon-yellow brushing down the center of each petal. The trumpet is small, ruffled, and a brilliant golden-yellow. The overall effect is absolutely gorgeous. From the International Daffodil Register: Daffodil name Bernardino Registered?
