One of the top breeders of daffodils was Alec Gray, 1895-1986. He brought us 'Tête-à-Tête' for example, the greatest success of any bulb. 'Flomay' was named after his wife. Now you only name something after your wife if it is special and it is. Photographed here on 1st April 'Flomay' is a fabulous miniature, looking great in a pot. It is very slow to increase. Here's Alec's own description in his 1960 catalogue. I'm waiting for that pinkish edge to develop.
