The musk Daffodil ( Narcissus moschatus ) is a plant from the genus of narcissus in the family of Amaryllidaceae family (Amaryllidaceae). It has been in gardening culture for three hundred years. Their natural location, however, is unknown. The natural occurrences may have died out. The musk daffodil is one of the trumpet daffodils and was accordingly placed in the pseudonarcissus section by the botanist John W. Blanchard (see also the systematics of daffodils ).
description
The musk-daffodil forms pure white flowers that are about 30 centimeters high on the inflorescence stem. The tepals of the main crown are up to 35 millimeters long and twisted. The side crown or trumpet is up to four inches long. It gives off an intense fragrance, which is why it was given the botanical name moschatus . In garden culture it blooms from April.
