They are up!
Have you ever seen daffodils like these? Where?

    They are 'Telemonious Plenus', aka Van Sion.
    For reference, please check out the American Daffodil Society's daff database: http://daffseek.org
    Where exactly are they located -? I have become very interested in old sites with Tel.Plenus...

    1. Thank you for this information!! Unfortunately, I cannot tell you exactly where they are as they are on private property but they are on Mason Neck in Fairfax County, Virginia. We are unsure as to their age, but we know the house that they are associated with was built in the 1790s and occupied through the 1920s. Thanks... Maddy
