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.  The daffodiliacs also seem to have another website that might help you.  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.
