My impression is that the daffodil sold commercially in the UK, as the Tenby daffodil, is a much bigger flower than the natural form..... it would be worth comparing what you have if you can source some reliable information. The plant which I know from childhood is a dainty, small flowered, self coloured, trumpet daffodil, tall for it's flower size.
