The crinoline Daffodil ( Narcissus bulbocodium ) is a plant from the family of the Amaryllis (Amaryllidaceae). After the botanist John W. Blanchard it is placed in the Bulbocodium section. The crinoline daffodil is the nominate form of a number of small narcissus varieties.
description
The crinoline daffodil grows as a perennial herbaceous plant and can reach a height of up to 15 centimeters. Its flowers are deep yellow and form about three centimeters wide and conical funnels. This funnel widens abruptly to the secondary crown, where the tepals abruptly sit down. They are 6 millimeters long and 0.5 millimeters wide. Their color is greenish.
Distribution area
Crinoline daffodils are found in northern and central Portugal , the Asturian Mountains in Spain and Morocco . There are also individual wild stocks in southern France . Within this large distribution area, the beginning of the flowering period is very different. North African populations begin to bloom in November, while on the high altitudes of the Pyrenees it does not begin until July.
There is a very large number of varieties that differ from the nominate form primarily in terms of flower color and size.
