Daffodil

Daffodils have been known for thousands of years. They figure in the myth of Narcissus, which is another name for the daffodil plant. Narcissus fell in love with his own image in a pool of water, and was turned into a flower. The drooping head of the daffodil flower represents Narcissus staring at himself in the water.

In Roman days, the Romans thought that daffodil sap had healing properties, and brought it along with them on conquests. It became a well-loved flower everywhere with its early blooming and bright colors. There are thousands of daffodil festivals across the world each spring, celebrating the arrival of the beautiful blossoms.

Daffodils easily grow from bulbs in most temperate climates. They are most known for their yellow color and can have centers in colors ranging from white to yellow to orange.
