Anyone heard of Cattleya Daffodil? Google search came up with BLC

& BC Daffodil. One site has a division for $195 & parent plant for $1000
do
these cost that much.Is it a rare hybrid?Or am I missing something?

Hi Keith-
I wonder if what you are referring to is Narcissus 'Thalia'?
http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/c...us/thalia.html
As you can see by the photo, the blossom has more than a passing resemblance
to a cattleya bloom, and some bulb merchants also label this cultivar as the
"Orchid Narcissus". I have grown this narcissus in my garden for many
years, and it is an easy, reliable bloomer. Prices on the west side of the
pond are around $36 per 100 bulbs.
