Meditation Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Meditation’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid to late season with 4¼ inch flowers. The petals are white and broad with a small point at the tip. The short, funnel shaped corona is creamy white with a yellow base and a broad band of pink 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.
