I don't recognize it, was about to suggest Old House Gardens, and if Scott Kunst chooses to offer it, I'll be right there to buy it :-) It's absolutely lovely.

If you'd like to trade a couple I would be tickled :)

Could it be Sugar Bush? I was just looking at the Colorblends website and saw this and it said it is one of the oldest and best southern daff's offreed continuously by the trade.

Whatever it is ... IT IS BEAUTIFUL and a MUST HAVE!

How many years ago (1920's? 1930's? etc...) was the house bought? Sugarbush might be ruled out if the house was purchased prior to the 1950's and the daffodils were already there, since that variety is listed only as "pre-1954", hybridized by Alec Gray. The photo is similar to 'Sugarbush', though, allowing for light and growing conditions, as well as the location it was found.

I am not certain when my grandfather bought the house, but am trying to find out. While reading about Sugarbush on various websites, I find that the tallest height given is 16". Does anyone know differently? None of mine are under 20" in height, with some as tall as 24". I'd have to say most are in the 20"-22" range. This is in all 4 locations in north Alabama and southern Tennessee where we have them growing.

I have Sugarbush and it is not as lovely as yours! Also, my Sugarbush(es?) are not as tall. Hmmm, my bulbs came from a reputable nursery several years ago, but if your beautiful ones are Sugarbush, I'm starting to wonder what mine might be! I believe it is Division 7, Jonquilla, at least according to NC State Univ. On the ADS site it states for Division 7: Daffodils have small flowers with flat petals.
There are usually one to three blooms on a stem.
They are very fragrant. The foliage is narrow, reed-like.

At any rate, I'll be searching the catalogues for some like yours! Here's a picture from last year (sorry, it's not too good) as mine are not in bloom yet:

That is tulipa bakeri 'Lilac Wonder' in front which is a small tulip, to give you some idea.

I hope this is of some help and not just making it more confusing. Anyhow, lucky you!!

Grand Primo might be a candidate for your mystery Narcissus.

It's described as growing well in the South, and circa 1780.

Maybe not Grand Primo--it's supposedly 14-16" tall. Maybe Grand Monarque (also at Old House Gardens), which comes closer in height? Only Grand Monarque looks like it has a much brighter cup.

I don't know what variety it is either, but I love it! If you end up wanting to trade out some, please e-mail me : )

What a beautiful daffodil! have you had any luck identifying it?

Maureen

My mum and i have just found a daffodil in our front garden that is 33" tall! We were wondering id this was tall for a daffodil? Think it could win any 'world tallest daffodil competitions'
Thanks you, we would apprciate any responces you could give us.
