Narcissus poeticus Narcissus poeticus (poet's daffodil, poet's narcissus, nargis, pheasant's eye, findern flower, and pinkster lily) was one of the first daffodils to be cultivated, and is frequently identified as the narcissus of ancient times (although "Narcissus tazetta" and "Narcissus jonquilla" have also been considered as possibilities). It is also often associated with the Greek legend of Narcissus. It is the type species of the genus "Narcissus". Extremely fragrant, with a ring of petals in pure white and a short corona of light yellow with a distinct reddish edge, It grows to tall, and is widely naturalized in North America.
Narcissus poeticus Poet's daffodil is cultivated in the Netherlands and southern France for its essential oil, narcissus oil, one of the most popular fragrances used in perfumes. Narcissus oil is used as a principal ingredient in 11% of modern quality perfumes—including 'Fatale' and 'Samsara'—as a floral concrete or absolute. The oil's fragrance resembles a combination of jasmine and hyacinth.
Narcissus poeticus The earliest mention of poet's daffodil is likely in the botanical writings of Theophrastus (371 – c. 287 BCE), who wrote about a spring-blooming narcissus that the Loeb Classical Library editors identify as "Narcissus poeticus". The poet Virgil, in his fifth "Eclogue", also wrote about a narcissus whose description corresponds with that of "Narcissus poeticus". In one version of the myth about the Greek hero Narcissus, he was punished by the Goddess of vengeance, Nemesis, who turned him into a Narcissus flower that historians associate with "Narcissus poeticus". The fragrant "Narcissus poeticus" has also been recognized as the flower that Persephone and her companions were gathering when Hades abducted her into the Underworld, according to Hellmut Baumann in "The Greek Plant World in Myth, Art, and Literature". This myth accounts for the custom, which has lasted into modern times, of decorating graves with these flowers. Linnaeus, who gave the flower its name, quite possibly did so because he believed it was the one that inspired the tale of Narcissus, handed down by poets since ancient times.
Narcissus poeticus In medicine, it was described by Dioscorides in his "Materia Medica" as "Being laid on with Loliacean meal, & honey it draws out splinters". James Sutherland also mentioned it in his "Hortus Medicus Edinburgensis".
