Rita, around here there are naturalized Lent Lilies all over the place, which I'm sure is where the idea of the "common yellow daffodil" came from for me. Nowadays I've come to realize even those Lent Lilies are far from common as they're no longer in commercial propagation- now I see them as precious heirlooms.
