Barrii Conspicuus Small-cupped Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Barrii Conspicuus’ is in Division 3. This is a dwarf narcissus that stands less than 13 high and blooms in mid to late season. The flowers are star shaped with yellow petals that overlap by only ¼. The corona is yellow with an orange rim that is tightly frilled. The bulbs are toxic and will not be eaten by deer or rabbits. The name Narcissus comes from the Greek word for narcotic and is tied to the myth of a young man known as Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection. When he drowned in the pool where he had been admiring himself, Narcissus flowers grew up around the pool.
