Wild daffodil is just a daffodil that has escaped cultivation — the species is native to western Europe. Wild daffodil stems get up to 20" tall; they are unbranched with a single flower at their apex. The leaves are basal, 8-20" long, about 1/2" wide, flat, and blue-green in color. The stem and flower bud are initially aligned, but the upper part of the stem becomes plastic for a short period, deforming to reorient the upper part of the stem (and the bud) to a position perpendicular to most of the stem. Each flower consists of a conical basal section (think "calyx")  with six spreading, yellow lobes (equivalent to tepals). Where the lobes/tepals bend backwards, a tubular, yellow, crinkled corona perpendicular to the tepals surrounds the reproductive structures (six stamens and a single style with a three-lobed stigma). Fruits are rarely produced. The corona is relatively longer and bigger in diameter in wild daffodil than it is in poet's daffodil. Keep pets (and small children) away from wild daffodil — if ingested, it induces severe vomiting.

About

I want to acknowledge the work of a friend and colleague, Dr. Fred Donner. We both share a passion for the flowers in Jackson Park. Fred's website (jacksonparkwildflowers.org) inspired me to build my own website and database; use and enjoy them both.

I am also pleased to thank my ninja web gurus and coders, Lindsey Young and Stefanie Engstrom. This site would not exist without their herculean labors.
