Detailed Information

The Bulbocodium Daffodil, also known as the Hoop Petticoat Daffodil, is a cultivar ultimately derived from species native to the **southwestern Iberian Peninsula** (primarily Spain and Portugal) and **North Africa**.

Here’s a breakdown:

* **Bulbocodium** refers to the *Narcissus bulbocodium* species group.
* *Narcissus bulbocodium* and its related species are the primary ancestors of the cultivars like ‘Spoirot’.
* These species are predominantly found in the regions mentioned above.

Therefore, while ‘Spoirot’ is a cultivar (meaning it was bred and selected by humans), its *genetic heritage* and the region where its wild ancestors originate is the southwestern Iberian Peninsula and North Africa.
