Pinza Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Pinza’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid spring with 3¾ inch flowers. The petals are a vivid yellow and the corona is bright yellow with an orangey yellow base which blends into a broad band of orange at the rim. The corona is cup shaped with a slightly flanged rim. 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.
