You daffodil guys would know this. There is some kind of very old daffodil 
that is white and delicate with very persistent grassy foliage.  I have lots 
of it around here and it is very fragrant.  I doubt that you would choose it 
from a catalog as it is not as showy as newer sorts but it needs little care 
being found on old farms in our area.  This daffodil is near to the end of 
the bloom season and also is found in a double form.  I suppose it would have 
been passed around as country people did in past years.  Our property has 
many of this type of widely shared plant.  Driving around the area you see 
the same plant on other old properties, a nice practice not happening so much 
today.
