There are lots of varieties of similar daffodils in my neighborhood.
Some probably date back to the turn of the century. This one is
unscented. I guess I'd be happy just calling it a daffodil. Thanks.
I'll google some daffodil pages.

BTW- it's funny- I'm always in the garden digging, planting, moving
whatever, and this is maybe my 3rd or 4th year with the gardening bug.
Now my neighbors are coming to *me* for advice.(!) I feel reluctant
giving an 80 yr old advice about Lilly of the Valley or whatever.
Flattering, though. .02

Thanks again.

I'll be posting a bunch of pics reallysoon showing my Paghat Flagstone
Path-inspired dogpatch.

All daffodils (common name) are Narcissus (genus name).

Yours is possibly a variety of poeticus daffodil. Does it have any
fragrance? Poeticus daffodils have one bloom per stem, white petals


with a small crinkled disc (often with a green center, surrounded by

yellow
and a contrasting red or orange rim) and the flowers are fragrant.

Might be the variety called 'Pheasant's Eye."
