Poeticus or Pheasant’s Eye, is a tall dainty flat faced white petal Daffodil with a short teeny yellow and orange cup. The yellow has a green cast to it. A super pretty species.

Day 12 in 30 days of Daffodils on Forsythia Hill in Charlottesville, Virginia.

i hate cumming but i do it because i don't have anywhere to go, i hate writing poems on twitter but i do it because there are only five people who read them and they all use twitter i miss restaurants and February (these are related), i hate everything else (i guess) i hate that even in my dreams, i can feel how much people don't like me, assigned the scarlet letter (A is for alien, autistic, asexual, angel, abundant), i hate that when i wake up i have to text 5 people to offset the feeling of being hated sometimes they reply and i resent that, i think i wasted an interaction on my guilt! sometimes they don't reply and i resent that, i think about life without them and what their favorite flowers are. i hate everything else (i guess) it has been four years since i kissed someone i love and i wonder how many times in that four year time span i have seen the same kind of bird i once loved a narcissist (a real one, not a fictional wolf of my own invention) and she told me that she wonders how many bright green tree frogs live between herself and the woman she loves (*not me) and i wonder now how many bright green tree frogs can permanently stay between her and i because i hate her forever (and everything else) (i guess) i burnt the roof of my mouth on pizza because i eat too fast, i walk too slow my mother asked me yesterday to walk faster and i said no i have to do things in a certain order, i have to walk slow to invent anticipation, i have to eat my food in an "even" way balance out my bites - equilibrium my fast eating and my slow walking are the same side effect, its been four years since i was the main character in a performance in which somebody loved me back, someone in the audience (me) didn't know when to clap worst critic, bad review, but i miss the same 3 acts without mercy

We think poet’s daffodils are among the most romantic and fascinating. Lewis Ginter botanical garden has an extensive collection of poeticus daffodils, the Nancy Roberts Pope collection, dedicated in 1996, in her memory. They are at peak bloom right now! Perfect time for a visit. . . . . . . #poeticus #narcissus #blooms #Flowers #plants #plantlove #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantgang #horticulture #plantpower #plantstagram #spring #beautybreak #spring #publicgardens #rva #rvagardentrail #narcissus #flowerstagram #daffodil #gardens (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCeBAXJ8yD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nxlqvi1lzwg2

I realized it’s been forever since I talked about Poeticus, so here’s a pic of my kitty <33 he’s growing so fast! The picture is some weeks old now, so he’s even bigger now. Around a month left, as he has to be around 14 weeks before he can come home with me since he needs to be neutralized first.

Narcissus Poeticus, the poet's daffodil, poet's narcissus, pheasant's eye.  

March 28, 2022 

Day 15 in 30 days of Daffodils on Forsythia Hill in Charlottesville, Virginia.  

Temp’s went down to 27 degrees last night. Yesterday I frantically picked a big bunch of Daffodils to save them from a freeze. This little outcrop of Daffodils was so pretty, I took a risk and let them stand. I felt a petal early this morning and it was crunchy ice. Sun has been shining on it for the last hour and it has thawed,  it seems ok but tonight its to get down to 22 degrees and not much is going to withstand that low of a temp. Such is the life of early Daffodils in Virginia

Our poet's daffodils are just coming into bloom. Narcissus poeticus 'France to Greece' is the first of many of these dramatic white-petaled daffodils. . . . #publicgardens #rva #rvagardentrail #loveva #narcissus #poeticus #daffodils #narcissuspoeticus (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)
