Hoop Petticoat Daffodil

The Hoop Petticoat Daffodil (Narcissus bulbocodium) is a long name for the smaller than average daffodil.

Like all the Narcissi, they are spring flowering bulbs that do well in many soils and climates. The picture highlights the plant's prominent yellow funnel shaped corona.

It's a bright alternative for anyone looking for a compliment to the basic spring daffodil.
