Palmares Collar Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Palmares’ is in Division 11a. It blooms in mid to late spring with 3½ inch flowers. The petals are white and broad. The corona is apricot pink but a deeper pink at the rim. The corona is split to the base with the corona segments opposite the petals. 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.
