Narcissus Linnaeus
A perennial flower that is either yellow or white with a yellow (or orange) trumpet also known as the corona. Has long narrow pointed leaves and has a total of six petals. They grow from bulbs.
Planted in wild gardens, open woodlands, borders,in front of shrubs, under trees or in beds. Sometimes in rock gardens if planted in smaller varieties.
This is one of my favorite flower, not only because it is beautiful, but it is a reminder that after a long, cold winter, spring is right around the corner. There is a greek story behind its scientific name, Narcissus.
