Daffodils are often called the first flower of Spring. Area gardens like this one have seen daffodils popping over the past week or so. Whether you call them daffodils, narcissus or jonquils, they are a sure sign that Spring is on it’s way. FYI, narcissus is the Latin or botanical name for all daffodils. In some parts of the country any yellow daffodil is called a jonquil. However, jonquil species and hybrids are characterized by several yellow flowers, strong scent, and rounded foliage.
