Daffodils / Narcissi -
The botanical name is Narcissus
and so all daffodils are Narcissi. Daffodil is an artificial category dreamt up
by gardeners for narcissi that have long trumpets - and usually that are wholly
or mainly yellow in colour, though colour is less important than the shape and
relative trumpet size. The division is not exact.
In North America, the name Jonquil is
often used for Narcissi, though in Britain Jonquil is used to describe
multi headed small flowering Narcissi.
That makes this one a daffodil and a
jonquil.
They flower from late
February until late May according to variety (this is in most of the UK
- it depends where you live as to exact dates) with the majority
flowering from about mid March to Mid April.
