Pale daffodil (9)
I believe the answer is:
narcissus
'pale daffodil' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for narcissus that I've seen before include "bloomer" , "Mythical egotist" , "Variety of daffodil" , "Reflective chap" , "Self-regarding youth" .)
