Leafless, leafless, with large trumpets and smaller ones, strongly scented and unscented. At least they have one thing in common; they all celebrate spring equally exuberantly.
SYMBOLISM
The daffodil has a dramatic legend. The story tells that daffodil is derived from Narkissos, a beautiful youth from Greek mythology. Narkissos was so engrossed in hunting that he did not notice the nymph Echo, who had a crush on him. Echo didn't let that pass. She made Narkissos, when he wanted to drink by a stream, fall so in love with himself that he stared for days at his reflection in the water. Finally, exhausted, he fell into the water and drowned. There arose a flower that rivaled Narkissos in beauty: the daffodil. The flower symbolized selfishness and vanity. Today, the flower is seen as a symbol of a new beginning, because the daffodil heralds a new season.
ORIGIN
These beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers grow naturally in meadows, forests and rocky places in Western Europe.
