Ipi Tombi Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Ipi Tombi ‘is in Division 2. This is a dwarf narcissus that blooms very early in the spring with 3 ¼ inch flowers. The petals are brilliant yellow and broad with a small point at the tip. The large corona is a vivid orange and funnel shaped with a straight mouth. 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.
