  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Jun 2, 2013 4:07 PM concerning plant:
    Guy L. Wilson (N. Ireland), the last century’s greatest daffodil breeder, whose cultivars are principally represented by white daffodils, says 'Niveth seems quite reliable, and would be a very charming subject in a small border of choice bulbs, or at the edge of a larger border, or on rock work; it has small drooping pure marble white flowers of the utmost refinement.'
    Daff expert Michael Jefferson-Brown calls Niveth “dazzling in its purity.”
    Described as the 'refined, up-town cousin of everybody’s favorite ‘Thalia’. by Old House Gardens.
    Heirloom, rather rare.
    aka Nivette (syn).
