Sara van Beck in Atlanta might have some of the kinds of information being
requested. She has made the study of daffodils in the South a significant
hobby. In addition, Russell Studebaker, a garden writer in Oklahoma, has done some
research on the use of daffodils by Cherokee people in cemeteries.
I can furnish an email address for Sara if anyone wants to contact me
privately. I might be able to find some contact information for Russell as well.
This pertains only to daffodils in the South.
