Pink Wonder Split-corona Narcissus
Narcissus ‘Pink Wonder’ is in Division 11a. It blooms in mid season with 3¼ inch wide flowers. The petals are yellowish white and very broad. The corona is a pale orange yellow shading to pale yellowish pink at the rim. The corona is split to the base with the six corona segments arranged in two whorls of three each and closely overlying 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.
