EXPLOSION… Narcissus.

Narcissus was a hero in Greek mythology

Narcissus possibly derived from ??? (narke) meaning "sleep, numbness," in Greek mythology was a hunter from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty.

He was exceptionally proud, in that he disdained those who loved him.

Nemesis saw this and attracted Narcissus to a pool where he saw his own reflection in the waters and fell in love with it, not realising it was merely an image.

Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus died ...

 

These here, with salmon trumpets, are a fragrant variety.

I (maybe wrongly) make a distinction (wrongly), based on that fact, between Daffodils and Narcissus...

 

Have a wonderful day, filled with love, M, (*_*)
