Daffodil, bulbocodium types
Narcissus bulbocodium
Narcissus bulbocodium is also called hoop-petticoat daffodil because the cup, or corona, is much larger than the petals, so each flower appears to be mostly a cup with a fringe of petals surrounding it. The plant usually bears a single flower per stem. Native to western France, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, it grows best in areas that have warm, dry summers. It is a bit less cold hardy than many of the larger hybrid daffodils. However, like its larger cousins, it is deer and rabbit resistant.
