Season 6: Garden Flowers- Daffodils: That Which Cometh Early

PlantStories: The Modern, the old, and the crazy in between!

A most famous flower hailing from Europe that is often used to represent a budding spring, Daffodils have been a staple decorative flower. With little to no healing properties, it is somewhat surprising that this trumpet shaped bulb broke through the scene, but it's strength of will during cold seasons had made it a symbol of hope and prosperity. Join us today as we discuss the daffodil.
Traveling around most of the European and even some of the Asian and African continents, the daffodil comes in a surprising amount of sizes and varieties. It's probably most well known for it's official name that comes from the Greek myth about Narcissus. Interesting how the Greeks have so much say in our flower culture! Come sit with us as we talk about some of the more modern meanings of this beautiful flower, where it comes from, and why its still in our consciousness today!
