Texas Double Narcissus
Narcissus ‘Texas’ is in Division 4. It blooms in mid spring with double flowers. The petals are yellow and arranged in multiple whorls. The bright orange corona segments are shorter than the petals and are interspersed among them. 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.
