Daffodils Narcissus and How to Grow Them, as Hardy Plants and for Cut Flowers
With a Guide to the Varieties
Description:... Excerpt from Daffodils Narcissus and How to Grow Them, as Hardy Plants and for Cut Flowers: With a Guide to the Varieties
The narcissus and daffodil have long been the most world-widely popular of all spring flowering bulbous plants. It is not alone the individual and collective beauty of their flowers that endears them to our hearts but the bravery of their advent, for "the time of the daffodil" closes the gates on bleak winter and ushers in, with trumpets of gold, longed-for spring.
It is true that these flowers may have been preceded by those of snowdrops, scillas, crocus, etc., with their boisterous weather accompaniments, but the awakening of the daffodils - among the earliest of the important flowers of a new season - means the advent of mild and genuine spring.
