This narcissus is in an old garden behind the coach house of a mansion built in 1906.
I have never seen a daffodil with a sharply kinked stem like this one. Could it be a species?

You might be able to figure out what it is using Daffseek (https://daffseek.org/colors-help/). The daffodiliacs also seem to have another website that might help you. https://daffnet.org (https://daffnet.org/) Old House Gardens deals in heirloom plants and even Brent and Becky's offer some.
Something about the ruffled corolla makes me think this is a hybrid not a species. Just a gut level feeling. It does have a lovely, delicate look about it.

Hi, not a species. A poeticus hybrid, similar to x incomparabilis, if not true incomparabilis.

Thank you, Carlos.
My friend is excited to know the name of her narcissus.
