Narcissus ID (no pics)

I've had a narcissus growing for years in the garden, one I bought originally, and it's done so well I'd like to get more, but though I've searched through catalogs I can't figure out the variety. It should not be rare or expensive, and it's been in place probably for six to ten years. It's a tallish kind with a good-sized bloom, small, yellow, frilled cup with a green eye, and broad overlapping white tepals which are neither reflexed nor inclined forward. One flower per stem, foliage glaucous (bluish), scent is what I think of as normal daffodil (not tazetta or jonquil). Midseason bloom. This narcissus has been growing in shade and in very heavy gray clay, yet has clumped up and flowers reliably. Zone 8, Mediterranean conditions. Daffodils rarely do well for me, so when one does, I want more of it.

I don't know whether the cup will change color as it ages: the flowers have just opened. I thought this was 'Accent', but color aside, the cup looks too small. Thanks for suggestions.
