DAFFODIL


Meaning of DAFFODIL in English

n.

Bulb-forming flowering plant ( Narcissus pseudonarcissus ), also called common daffodil or trumpet narcissus, native to northern Europe and widely cultivated there and in North America.

It grows to about 16 in. (41 cm) and has five or six leaves about 12 in. (30 cm) long that grow from the bulb. The stem bears one large yellow trumpet-shaped blossom. The daffodil's popularity has resulted in the production of many varieties differing from the yellow parent form mainly in colour.
