Narcissus is a popular ornamental plant for gardens, parks and as cut flowers, providing color from the end of winter to the beginning of summer in temperate regions. Thousands of varieties and cultivars are available from both general and specialist suppliers. They are normally sold as dry bulbs to be planted in late Summer and Autumn (Fall). Over 140 varieties have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit The daffodil is the national flower of Wales, where it is traditional to wear a daffodil or a leek on Saint David's Day Narcissus grow from pale brown-skinned spherical bulbs with pronounced necks. Each flower has a central bell-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are color varies from white through yellow to deep orange. Breeders have developed some daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments, and several wild species also have known double variants. The seeds are black, round and swollen with a hard coat.
