A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Narcissus pseudonarcissus
A pale yellow flower with six petals and a darker yellow central trumpet. usually growing in clusters.
Spotted in a wooded area next to a wetland. It is believed these were brought here from the early settlers here at Dupont. This is at the Dupont Powderworks Park.
The species is native to Western Europe from Spain and Portugal east to Germany and north to England and Wales. It is commonly grown in gardens and populations have become established in the Balkans, Australia, New Zealand, the Caucasus, Madeira, British Columbia, Ontario, Newfoundland, Oregon, Washington State, much of eastern United States, and the Falkland Islands. Wild plants grow in woods, grassland and on rocky ground. In Britain native populations have decreased substantially since the 19th century due to intensification of agriculture, clearance of woodland and uprooting of the bulbs for use in gardens. In Germany it was a subject of a national awareness campaign for the protection of wildflowers in 1981.
