    The trumpets on this variety open more yellow and then deepen to orange as the bloom ages. I like it best toward the end of its bloom cycle when it has the deeper orange trumpets. Tall for a daffodil.

    Brent and Becky's Bulbs provided the following comment on York Minister:
    '55 mph that can be seen from a distance; over-lapping perianth segments and smooth texture will make a winner on the show bench and terrific in the garden; easy forcer. 14-18"; early - mid spring'.

    I forced it successfully in 2013. Nice display quality.
