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.
