Jack Snipe Cyclamineus Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Jack Snipe’ is in Division 6. It stands 8 – 10 inches high and blooms in early to mid spring. The flowers are 2 ¾ inches wide and form an acute angle with the stem. The petals are white and deeply reflexed. The corona is bright yellow and cylindrical with a band of slightly deeper yellow at the rim. 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.
