I have the name of this somewhere in my records, but it would take me too long to find them. I like the pale yellow and white combination, plus the beautiful ruffle on the corona.
These are my favorites. They're in the Poeticus group with bright white petals and a ruffled corona that has a transition of color from green to yellow to orange.
The petals recurve at maturity. I really like this form a lot. I bought these bulbs at Keukenhof Garden in The Netherlands. I visited there two years ago at about this time of year.
The old standard King Alfred cultivar. I still like this one, but I like the other colors a bit more than the standard bright yellow ones that everyone seems to have in their gardens.

King Alfred is a definitely a favorite of mine too...never seen Poeticus though.

I hadn't seen the Poeticus type until I visited Keukenhof Gardens in The Netherlands. I'm going to try to divide my clumps this year so I can get some more started around the yard. They're fabulous!
