When I woke up this morning and went outside to check my garden, I saw this Peruvian Daffodil in bloom. Â The latin name is Ismene, and in Austin, this is a late spring, early summer bloomer. Â Right now it’s the beginning of May, and the last week has been warm (in the 80′s) and humid.
Of all the different flowers I’ve grown so far, this is one of my favorites, right after the purple passion flower, that began blooming a few weeks ago.
I put these bulbs in just before the last freeze, in early January, and they are located in my Tulip beds. Â Plenty of good morning sun, and a lot of water.

That’s a cool looking flower, and your photos are awesome!
Gorgeous daffodil, I’ve never seen this before, very unusual.
That is just a gorgeous daffodil. I have not seen one like it. Valerie
Fabulous photos Eric! I’ve never seen this species of daffodil before, it’s beautiful!
Great photos, Eric, and that blossom is a stunner!
I have some this year myself, I love them!! But what do you do with the “stem” after they have already bloomed? There’s a ball at the end where the flower use to be. Help!!
This is the same question I have of my daffodil and have not found the answer on the web yet. Yours is the only reference I’ve seen to my question. Did YOU get an answer? Let me know, please!
This is such a beautiful daffodil.
I’ve been wanting one, but after seeing yours, I’m definitely going to try to figure out where to put one.
It looks amazing Eric!
Such a beautiful flower!!!!
have an nice weekend there!
I’ve never seen anything like these. These are very exotic looking, remind me of orchids. Beautiful.
