The foliage is rounded (a little flat) and grows to about 6". The flowers bloom early and a small and medium yellow throughout. Usually a stalk bears 3 flowers that open vertically -

smonk,

I've found that it's pretty near impossible to ID historic varieties without at least pictures, and better still being able to actually see the flower in question up close and personal. ( smile)

For that reason I'm giving you links to two well known places that deal with heirloom spring bulbs.

The distinction between narcissus and daffodils often gets blurred.

The first link is:

and the second link is below.

Hope that helps.

And perhaps someone reeading here will immediately ID what you have, but I'm doubtful about that since there are many that resemble each other. And you can always take a p icture and send it to one of the links I've given you after e-mailing with them, I would assume.

Here is a link that might be useful: Heiroom spring bulbs

I remember reading somewhere that most narcissus varieties do poorly as garden plants in the Deep South. If there are only a few species or varieties that naturalize easily in Alabama, maybe it will be easier to identify smonk's plants. I think the tazetta group are supposed to do well there - and they tend to be smaller ones with several blooms per stalk.
