The Daffodil Twins

.Daffodils (scientifically known as Narcissus) are hardy, spring-blooming perennial flowers featuring bright yellow or white petals and a distinct trumpet-shaped center. Planted as bulbs in the autumn, these resilient and deer-resistant favorites return year after year, gracefully signaling the arrival of spring.

Horticulturalists classify narcissus into “divisions” or “categories”. Some divisions include: Trumpet, Large-Cupped, Small-Cupped, Double, Tazetta with several small scented flowers per stem, Hoop-Petticoat Daffodils and Split-Corona Daffodils. There are many hybrids between and within divisions.

Did you know that Daffodils contain toxic crystals and alkaloids, making them poisonous if ingested by pets or humans.
