Daffodil ... There are several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties. They are mostly native to the Mediterranean region, but a few species are found through Central Asia to China. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available in nurseries almost every year.

... february, they are realy easy to grow and are an ideal way to give a little colour to the usually dull gardens at the end of winter. You will need to plant your daffodil bulbs at the end of september, about 6 inches into the soil and dont plant them too close together as these return every year with more and more flowers so if you put them too close together they wont get enough light or nutrients, about 1 to 1 1/2 foot apart will do nicely. Once your daffodils have finished flowering dont cut the leaves and stems off unti...more

Daffodils are bulb flowers that have a trumpet shape in the middle of the flower which has 6 petals around it, the traditional daffodil is bright yellow but i have this year brought me some in white. Daffodils are very popular flowers usually associated with easter, i think this has more to do with the fact that they are one of only a few flowers which bloom this early in the year than anything else though. Daffodils are quite tall usually about 1 1/2 foot tall but there are dwarf species available which is the ones i brought last year in the white i mentioned earlier, these look beautiful inbetween my large daffodils and are a lot better as my ...

I know it is too early yet for daffodils but, with the evenings becoming ever so slightly lighter and New Year upon us, in no time at all it will be Spring. As I get older I cannot wait for Spring and adore Summer. However 2007 saw our garden under water in the June Floods and many of my perennials took a battering. Having said that there is just a hint at the moment of my daffodils poking through the earth with their promise of what's to come and so they at least have survived. DAFFODILS OR NARCISSUS * Daffodils are also know as Narcissus. Narcissus is a classical Greek name for a handsome youth, who was so entranced with his own beauty that ... Read the complete review

When you think of spring what do you imagine? Lambs jumping in the fields, warmer days, lighter evenings? I think of fields of Daffodils, lining the road edge and clumped under trees in the local park. The Daffodil has to be one of the happiest and refreshing flowers there are and I love the bright yellows and paler whites of the various Daffodil types there are. The most common daffodil you will see and probably be aware of is the Trumpet Narcissus. This is the variety that has one large trumpet like flower (usually bright yellow) on top of a larger, sturdy pale green stem and leaves. However there are many other species of Daffodils and these days most of ... Read the complete review

I have just spent a couple of hours in the garden. The weather is bitterly cold but very sunny and I am feeling extremely uplifted. Gardening is very therapeutic, but I find it more so at this time of the year when the spring bulbs are everywhere and getting ready to flower. My favourite spring flower is the daffodil. I must have at least 400 in my garden and more growing in pots. I grow lots of varieties too. After winter they appear and this cheerful spring bloom signals that spring is on its way. Wonderful! Daffodils are horticulturally divided into 12 groups based on the form of the flowers. They provide a wide variety of shapes and forms, from ... Read the complete review
