Narcissus hispanicus

Narcissus hispanicus, the Spanish daffodil (sometimes treated as a subspecies of Narcissus pseudonarcissus), is a robust bulbous perennial in the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae), endemic to the Iberian Peninsula where it grows in mountain meadows, damp grasslands, and forest clearings of central and northern Spain and Portugal. The plant arises from a tunicated ovoid bulb 3-5 cm in diameter that produces 3-5 erect, glaucous, strap-shaped basal leaves 20-50 cm long and 10-20 mm wide, slightly keeled and somewhat flattened. The flowering scape is stout, 25-50 cm tall, two-edged, and bears a single large terminal flower subtended by a papery membranous spathe. Each flower is 6-10 cm across, bright golden-yellow throughout, consisting of a perianth of six obovate, slightly twisted tepals and a long trumpet-shaped corona (3-5 cm) with a flared, irregularly toothed and frilled margin that often exceeds the tepals in length. The fruit is a three-locular capsule containing many black seeds. The species flowers in early to mid-spring and is one of the parents of many large-trumpet garden daffodil cultivars.
