DAFFODILS for EASTER …

 

 

 

The iconic Easter flowers, a GIFT of BEAUTY.

 

For those interested, Daffodils and Narcissus: the two words are synonyms.

Narcissus is the Latin or botanical name for all daffodils. Daffodil is the common name for all members of the genus Narcissus.

 

I have chosen a handful of narcissi mainly for their intoxicating fragrance.

Tazetta Daffodils soleil d'or, yellow flowers with small orange rounded cups...

These bunch-flowered Narcissi have up to 20 or more flowers arising from each flower stem and the crown being much less than half as long as the tepals, plus the crown isn't wrinkled or "crisped."

 

When the buds first open, as you can see, the petals and the cups are a lemon yellow... later they turn orange!

 

Dwarf daffodils, the stems, bound with a ribbon, finished with a bow... in full glory

 

 

Wishing you a bright day and thanx, M, (*_*)
