Anecdotal Notes
#201 Large white with strong yellow center, solid white back; elliptical petals with pointed tip, moderately overlapped and twisted; medium texture; 3-3/4"; narcissus scent; keeping quality good. Reminds me of soap and a little like narcissus flowers. Strong to very strong clean soap fragrance. Stronger in the evening and at night. Grows like a shrub and not tall like a Moragne. The lower side-branches can weep, grow low to the ground to get out to the sun and then turn up. It can be trained to grow only upright if support is used. Less watering and fertilizer will minimize the weeping trait. Tall grower with average branching. Lanceolate green leaves with acute tips. Beautiful white with a small egg yolk centre. Mexican White very hardy plant and very fragrant. Cold Tolerant. Heavy bloomer. Mexican Yellow easy rooter slow and steady growth but at 5 years she is at 15'. Tom Morin found it in Mexico.
