Photo of Daffodil 'White Ideal'

I had a Daffodil variety that I had purchased years ago -- a white, true trumpet daffodil -- called 'White Ideal.' I thought it the most beautiful white daffodil I ever saw. Unfortunately, my clump -- a small one -- was destroyed when moving it was attempted, and I've not been able to find a source since. I don't even remember where I originally ordered it from (it would have been well over ten years ago; possibly 15), but it seems it is not available anywhere! A google search brought me to Martha Stewart's website -- apparently she's an admirer of this variety as well -- but the photo is missing and no sources are listed (see link below).

I have one poor photo, which I'll attach, depicting the flower from not-the-best angle in order to show a white spider that made it's home there in order to ambush bees!

Any information would be appreciated!
