Title: Heirloom Jonquils

"I fell in love with these assorted heirloom narcissus as a kid. I Loved flowers but weren't allowed to buy any. These were for free, easy, and returned first thing each year to signal winter was over. I spent my life learning to ID the different kinds & eventually had a bulb farm in Arcadia. Narcissus is from Greek mythology just like Arcadia is and I plant them everywhere in Arcadia to this day. They occur at most every old homeplace in Arcadia."
