I gave a daffodil talk to the local Welsh society a couple months ago. Of course I discussed the Tenby daffodil, the national flower of Wales, which I understand is N. pseudonarcissus obvallaris.
At our daffodil show in Cincinnati today, we had both N. pseudonaricissus and N pseudonarcissus obvallari on the show table and N. p. obvallaris was obviously more refined looking than N.p.
I know the history of this flower in Wales is somewhat murky and full of legend. However, this local Welsh society is investigating acquiring bulbs next spring and learning about forcing bulbs. Can anyone point me to a source for either or both of these species?

Thanks for the history Hein. That was an interesting chronology. It seems a few different groups of people are credited in the origins!
