Heirloom white daffodil favorite "Thalia"

Here's an informative article on the small, elegant, white daffodil "Thalia," an heirloom favorite. Use it as a transitional drift of daffodils between the miniatures at the entry and larger drifts further out in your landscape.
Narcissus 'Thalia' http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/sep/27/narcissus-thalia-bulb-bucket-alys-fowler Available from John Scheepers: http://www.johnscheepers.com/narcissus-thalia.html "Circa 1916, the fragrant award winning "Orchid Narcissus" has up to five pendant, white flowers per stem with recurved petals and a cup-shaped crown. A versatile heirloom selection, she is as well-suited for classic boxwood parterres as she is for iridescent all-white gardens and naturalized woodland drifts. Narcissus Thalia is spectacular used with other varieties, like interplanted with tulips and Fritilaria imperialis rubra maxima, or in a meandering 'river' flanked by thick ribbons of electric-blue Muscari armeniacum. Bulb size: 14/16 cm. April/May. 16" to 18". HZ: 4-9."
