[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is a species of narcissus that blooms in the autumn. It is like the Narcissus poeticus, but he is smaller and it has a Mediterranean distribution.
More Information

All Narcissus species have a central trumpet-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of 6 floral leaves called the periant which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the ovary. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional Daffodil of folklore, poetry and field may have a yellow to golden yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. Breeders have developed some Daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments - and several wild species also have known double variants.
In the Southern United States daffodils are usually referred to as 'buttercups'.
