It must be Spring - Daffodils by Liz
Image copyright Liz Orr 2014
Gorgeous Daffodils from the walled garden in Dunham Massey, Cheshire. Narcissus, also known as Daffodils (or Jonquils) are late winter and early Spring flowering bulbs. They are members of the Amaryllidaceae flower family - named after Amaryllisa, the beautiful shepherdess of classical poetry. The genus Narcissus is named after the handsome young man in classical Greek mythology whose downfall was his obsession with his own reflection. He eventually perished and was turned into a flower by the Gods. Allegedly!
Anyway, thank you to Liz for sending this photo of these vibrant flowers - more tomorrow!
