Section: Jonquilla
N. jonquilla
Fl. star-shaped; perianth segments ovate, blunt, mucronate, deep yellow with white towards midrib, spreading to a little reflexed, plane or with margins a little wavy, smooth and of heavy substance, overlapping a quarter; corona bowl-shaped, smooth, deep lemon yellow, mouth broadly ribbed and a little wavy, with rim minutely crenate.
Additional description from 2014 Mitsch Daffodils catalog: “Deep yellow edges on the perianth with the same color in the cup. Quite similar to ‘Endearing’ but after opening with pale lemon in the center of the perianth seems to have more pronounced white when it is mature, the white becoming very distinct in a few days. “
