Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'Tahiti')
While Narcissus ‘Tahiti’ is a cultivar (a cultivated variety) and doesn’t have a single “native region” in the same way as a wild plant, we can trace its ancestry to determine the *likely* geographical origins of the species it’s derived from.
Daffodils in general (Genus: *Narcissus*) are native to:
* **The Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal):** This is considered the primary center of diversity for daffodils.
* **Western Europe:** Extending from France to the UK.
* **The Mediterranean region:** Including parts of North Africa and the Middle East.
Since ‘Tahiti’ is a hybrid, it likely combines genetic traits from several different *Narcissus* species, each originating from one or more of those areas.
Therefore, the *likely* geographical location or native region of the genetic material that makes up the Double Daffodil ‘Tahiti’ is **primarily the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), but potentially also extending into Western Europe and the Mediterranean region.**
**In summary:** ‘Tahiti’ doesn’t have a single “native” region as it’s a human-created hybrid, but its ancestral species originated from the general areas listed above. The Iberian Peninsula is most likely where the highest concentration of its genetic heritage lies.
