The Yellow Daffodils in Our Garden

Most of them are gone now  and  I am happy to see them once in a year. Daffodil is the  common name  of the Narcissus flowering plant. They are bulbous plants and are winter hard. They always bloom flowers every spring time. It feels like a therapy for my body and spirit everytime I see them blooming in our garden. Truly such a beauty of nature!

These daffodils are from our garden and was captured last April 2012.

All Narcissus species have 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 seeds are black, round and swollen with a hard coat. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional daffodil of folklore, poetry, and field may have a yellow to golden-yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. 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. wikipedia

Spring Time is Garden Time

Spring time is truly garden time for me but sad to say, it is still very cold outside. I went this morning in our garden to check some flowers and I am happy to see that a lot of tulips and other flowers are already blooming. I want to do a bit cleaning and planting but decided not to staty too long because it breeze is still cold. I don't want to get sick only for this reason. I can wait until the weather will be nicer and friendlier in the coming days or weeks.

Spring time is just one of my favorite seasons of the year! Here are some of the few blooms from our garden.

these tulips always love to come back every year. I already have this for seven years in our garden.

the daffodils are slowly getting weakened. These are the first ones that bloomed in our garden since almost three weeks ago.

I love the color of this viola flowers. It is one of my favorite colors. They are also blooming now. Other colors such as yellow, red and orange are also in our garden.

Narcissus, Daffodil are Coming Soon

I am slowly feeling the spring air. I heard today over the radio weather forecast that the temperature in our area will be milder. They also mentioned that on Thursday, we will have up to 18 degrees Celsius temperature. Spring is almost coming. This is the time of the year where the tulips, narcissus or daffodils will start to grow and bloom in our garden.

Sad to say, I can't see the process of blooming of these flowers because I will be away for a 6-weeks trip to Spain starting March 11, 2012. I believed I will see some of the flowers when I come back in April. If not, I will also see some of these flowers in Spain.

Here are some of the narcissus or daffodils from our garden. This was taken last spring 2011.

You can also see the white flowers of our cherry tree. I can't see it again this year because we already cut this tree. In its area stands now our terrace and carport. The narcissus were also replanted in the other areas of our garden.

beautiful narcissus in our garden from spring 2011.

Narcissus is a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. It's common name in English is Daffodil.

Narcissus, Daffodil Flowers

I just happened to know that Narcissus or Daffodil as it is called in English belongs to the family of Amaryllis. It is very interesting that little by little I slowly learn more about plants and flowers especially its name. Here are the Narcissus I took as we happened to pass-by a parking lot near a train station. We got yellow ones in our garden but can't find the pictures now. Lovely flowers indeed!

Narcissus (pronounced /nɑrˈsɪsəs/) is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Though Hortus Third cites 26 wild species, Daffodils for North American Gardens cites between 50 and 100 including species variants and wild hybrids. Through taxonomic and genetic research, it is speculated that over time this number will probably continue to be refined. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year. more here
