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.
