It's hard to believe that March is already here.
I used to think narcissus was a separate variety from daffodils.
I later learned that Narcissus is a genus and daffodil is a common name.
To further confuse matters, narcissus is also used as a common name and jonquil is another common name for some cultivars in this genus.
All Narcissus cultivars have been split into divisions based partly on genetic background and partly on color and form.
Since Narcissus is the botanical name for all daffodils, I've started using Narcissus when referring to daffodils.

This is a great post. Very interesting and I learned a few things today. I always love your beautiful flowers too. Have a great weekend and thanks again for sharing.
I'm glad you explained that. I was thinking on your narcissis post before (the cold survivor) how much that narcissis looked like the daffodils we used to grow. So now I know "duh"! I just wish I'd be lucky enough to see one for real ... no matter what it was called ..these days that doesn't happen for us.
thanx for joining us with your lovely weekend flowers! :)
Lovely daffodils, the colour is like sunshine.
Great post - I LOVE narcissis and have many different.
It really added color to the place. And it looked fragrant ;-)
I can't believe you found that many flowers already!
Those daffs on the boulevard inspire me to plan some guerrilla gardening. Bulbs are such an easy way to spread gardening love in public spaces.
Those are gorgeous!
So many names. I like the name daffodil. They don't grow here in Bangalore. :(
They are stunning flowers. Thanks for the info :)
March and spring is just around the corner.
Thank you for wonderful spring pictures!!
beautiful flowers
thanks

I am so looking forward to seeing narcissus bloom in my gardens! It won't be for a while yet, though.
I can't wait until I see flowers blooming again.
