another heirloom daffodil in need of ID

Taft, TN(Zone 6b)

Many years ago in northwest Louisiana, my grandfather bought an old house to be a rent house. These small cup daffodils literally covered the yard. There were hundreds. I dug up black leaf bags full of them and moved them to our home in Alabama and our farm in Tennessee. They are proving to be prolific in both places.

Stats:
flower stalks 20-22" high
flowers 2 1/4" across
cup 3/4" diameter
single flower per stalk

The bulbs seem to multiply rapidly and the flowers are fragrant. I have e-mailed the photo to Old House Gardens and am hoping to hear back from them. Does anyone here recognize this variety?

Thanks for any assistance,

Hope you get it identified. It's very pretty. I love the light rim to the cup.

Very, very nice. What is your zone in Alabama? They are obviously enjoying 6b in TN. Harold

Harold, our Alabama zone is 7a. We are about in the middle of that narrow band of green where 7b is pushing up and 6b is pushing down.

Robert, thanks. I enjoy this one a lot.

I'm going to guess it's "Sugarbush because the cup is outlined with white and you said it has a sweet fragrance. Here, the height is only about 16 inches, so I may not be correct.
