Paricutin Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Paricutin’ is in Division 2 and blooms in mid to late season. The petals are golden yellow and the corona is very large, bright red and disc shaped. 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.
