Daffodils,
the flowers symbolising friendship, are one of the most popular
flowers exclusively due to their unmatched beauty. Daffodils belong
to the genus Narcissus. Daffodil flowers have a trumpet-shaped structure
set against a star-shaped background.
Daffodils are constantly recurring flowers. Where
climate is moderate, Daffodils flourish among the first spring buds.
Daffodils often bloom in clusters. Botanists list at least 50 species
of Daffodils, as well as many natural hybrids. Daffodils are native
mainly to the Mediterranean region, in particular to the Iberian
Peninsula, as well as Northern Africa and the Middle East. Generally
Daffodils are yellow, but some of them also grow in yellow-and-white,
yellow-and-orange, white-and-orange, pink, and lime-green.
All Daffodils have a corona in the centre that looks
like a trumpet, and a ring of petals all around. The natural Daffodil
is golden yellow colour all over, while the trumpet may often appear
in a contrasting colour. The paper-white Daffodils could be planted
in gardens that are outdoor. But they could grow in indoor gardens
during Christmas.
