Hello! I’m attempting to document wildflowers that grow around our Eno River here in Durham, North Carolina. That includes a variety of daffodil that I’ve posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/snapdraggin/8661333322/in/photostream

These grow in areas throughout the length of the Eno, though in places I suspect where homesteads may have existed over the past two hundred years. They may be quite old cultivars, as I’m assuming there are no domestic daffodils from this region. They’re quite small, less than 3-inches across. Would you know something about these?

  1. N. × medioluteus, or Twin Sisters, immediately comes to mind. It is very late and has quite small flowers.

  2. I concur with Ethel. I grow the cultivar here and it seems the same.

  3. I agree with Ethel and David.  It is the species N. x medioluteus known commonly as “Twin Sisters.”
