    '“If I could have but one,” wrote A.M. Kirby in 1907 in America’s first book about daffodils, “I would choose this.” It’s a favorite of ours, too, a glorious Victorian trumpet full of wildflower vigor and grace. It’s extra early, blooming as the crocus fade, and multiplies with gusto. 1 Y-Y, 14-15”, zones 4a-7b.' Courtesy of Old House Gardens (who rank it in the rarest category).

    In 1885, reputedly found in Wassenaar, Holland, growing on a private estate.
