Well Frank, I did not post to this earlier, wanting to leave it at the top of the posts, in the hope that someone would see and reply to it.

hmmmmm...now it has begun to sink.

My first question is, where did you get the bulbs? Buy? Trade? My first thought is that some of them just got mixed together.
How many years have you grown 'those' bulbs?
Have they grown in that exact place for more than one season?...My thinking here is at some previous time, you may have moved some bulbs, and accidentally left an Ice Follie bulb or 2 behind...maybe years ago, and it/they has/have finally gotten to blooming size. Is that a possibility?

I have your last email...and will get back to you soon, I hope...I've got a lot of plants going out and coming in and am starting to stress.

Don't stress Sue! It's supposed to be fun!
-Until you get killing ice in February and then snow in April and then rabbits chew your pussywillow down to the ground and then the hay you used as mulch becomes a weed-seed bank.... but that's neither here nor there.

I see what you're saying. The bulbs were bought three(?) years ago as Ice King and I got double blooms the first year, but last year I think I got two single blooms mixed in the clump.
When first planted they were all double and I never had regular Ice Follies in the garden (which I know is a little embarassing since it's such a good daff) so I definately know they were double at one time. I'm thinking they might be overcrowded and will become double again once they have some good soil prep and some elbow room..... but on the other hand I seem to recall reading somewhere that this type will occasionally go single again and stay that way...
I don't know. Maybe I'll know more after they bloom this spring. I thought someone else might have seen this happen to their own planting.

-and I have nothing against single flowers, especially the pretty little single daff known as Ice follies... ok ok that's my last plug for IF..... it's just that it was the first daff I grew and I always liked the way it faded from a cheerful creamy yellow to a clean white... and was so hardy and early and robust....
heh heh
