The Poeticus Narcissi or “Poet’s Daffodils ” all have snowy white perianth segments 
Cor petals), with a flattened cup, dnnabar-red or edged with clnnabar-red. 
Referring to the great beauty of these Poet’s Daffodils when naturalised, Mr. William Robinson 
writes : “Four years ago I cleared a little valley of various fences. Through this runs a streamlet, and we 
grouped the Poet's Narcissi near it, also in a little orchard that lay near, and through a grove of oaks. 
This year the whole landscape was a picture such as one might see in an Alpine valley. 
1^” Poeticus divides naturally into eariy~ and /afe-flowering varieties. It is from the eaily section, 
especially Poeticus ornatus, that Covent Garden is supplied with forced cut flowers of the Poeticus 
from January to March. Early planting and liberal culture is specially recommended for these Poet.«
