Pay Day Trumpet Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Pay Day’ is in Division 1. It blooms in late spring with 4 inch flowers. The petals are lemon yellow and very broad with a small point at the tip and a band of white at the base. The corona is long and funnel shaped with a flared mouth. It opens lemon yellow but matures to white. 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.
