Orange Progress Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Orange Progress’ is in Division 2 and blooms in mid spring. The petals are yellow, very broad, and slightly reflexed, giving a roundish look to the flower. The corona is orange and funnel shaped. 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.
