The daffodil season in the U.K…
We are in the daffodil season in the U.K. Daffodils are plants that give flowers also in the winter and have the botanic name of Narcissus.
The name narcissus as two derivations: One comes from the Greek mythology and is about Narcissus, the men that became so obsess with is own reflection that as he kneeled and gazed into a pool of water, he fell and drowned. The legend continues that the Narcissus plant first sprang from where he died. The other derivation is that the plant is named due to its narcotic proprieties (narkoa).
They are cultivated, picked, refrigerated to last longer and commercialized because people seem to like this plant…
Here are some lovely photos of the fields at
