Early Daffodills and now

Hi Jim,

I just recently added 'Quail' (Div 7) and 'Gigantic Star' (Div 2) to the wiki, and 
updated 'Ceylon' (Div 2) with new pictures.  I had a new one, at least new to me, 
bloom for me this week named 'Golden Echo' (Div 7) that I think is awesome.

Here are the links:

 I think there's a number of other good 'early' daffodils. I
have one called "Early to Rise' that's a full size cup and 'Quail' is
sometimes early (not this year - barely started to show color).
Surely we have some daffodil-istas who can name a few reliable early
cvs. (Dave K?).

 Like so many plant groups, it is a good idea to select early
and late blooming cultivars to spread out the season. There's always
a few at both extremes that can give you 5 or 6 weeks of flowers
instead of one or two.

 Two worth mentioning that are giving a good show right now are

 'Ceylon' a Div 2 with lemony petals contrasting nicely a
cheery orange cup.

 'Gigantic Star' (Div 1?) (With this name it ought to be) said
to be one of the largest cvs to 22 inches and 4 inch flowers. Not
quite that here, but still impressively large, vigorous and
floriferous. Solid yellow flowers in mass.
