Daffodils Flower

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. Often the trumpet is in a contrasting color from the background. The name Daffodils includes the cluster-flowered yellow Jonquils and the White Narcissi , as well as the include as the more common trumpet shaped flowers (right), members of the genus Narcissus.

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. In addition to the species, the Daffodil Data Bank lists over 13,000 hybrids. 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 center that looks like a trumpet, and a ring of petals all around. The natural Daffodil is golden yellow color all over, while the trumpet may often appear in a contrasting color. The paper-white Daffodils could be planted in gardens that are outdoor. But they could grow in indoor gardens during Christmas.
