The Sergeant Majorette says:

Maybe both. When I think of the flower narcissus, I don't think of 
big yellow daffodils, I think of the miniature variety 
called 'paperwhite narcissus'; they sell the bulbs in glass or fancy 
ceramic dishes for forcing (blooms)indoors. They're also very 
fragrant. Pale, pampered hothouse flower?
