Naturehills.com carries thousands of products including the Daffodil - Original Poet's
from the Fall Flower Bulbs family.
The Original Poet's Daffodil, Narcissus poeticus recurvus, is a sweetly fragrant Poeticus daffodil with pure white petals that curve gracefully back as if windblown, and it has a striking cup. Heirloom bulbs are the best of the best of timeless, classic and elegant varieties that have been bred to relative perfection. These antique varieties have endured the test of time, and are as amazing as they were thousands of years ago. Highly recommended! The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in mid spring. Daffodil bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years. They will multiply and produce the most abundant flowering results in the 2nd and 3rd year. Needs full sun to partial shade.
If necessary, very large clumps of bulbs can be lifted as soon as the leaves wither, and then they can be divided and replanted as soon as possible. After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant. ( According to the legend, the flower sprang from the dead form of the beautiful boy, who, turning from the favoring smiles of Echo, by whom he was beloved, to admire his own image in the water, fell in and was drowned, the victim of self-love. As the flower was named ""Narcissus"" to keep him in remembrance.)
