This is one of my favourite large-cupped daffodils. The blooms are quite large and an unusual primrose-yellow with cream cup. When the flowers first open they are decidedly greenish, hence the cultivar name. But beware, some catalogues show them to be very green which they are not.

Don't expect the lime green color you see on the packaging. As a new gardener, I was VERY dissapointed! This is a pale yellow Daffodil, in all lights. Cute little pale flower however, very delicate. I forced mine.
