Oriental Silk Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Oriental Silk’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid spring with lemon yellow petals which are slightly reflexed and a white corona. 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.
