Daffodil 'Telamonius Plenus' (Van Sion): Historic Green-Mottled Double

A unique daffodil from a Tennessee family farm was identified as 'Telamonius Plenus' (syn. 'Van Sion'), a very old cultivar dating to the early 1600s. It's a "wild sport double" with greenish mottling, especially in warm weather. Though considered unattractive by some, it's extremely tough, growing as far south as Tallahassee. In ideal mountain conditions, it shows a perfect form with doubling confined to the trumpet.
