Golden daffodils, the dazzling garden beauty

Daffodils are garden classics, partly due to the ease with which they grow. They are also just so beautiful. Few garden views beat that of a host of golden daffodils beside a pond, fluttering and dancing in a gentle breeze.

Native to Mediterranean countries, daffodils belong to the genus Narcissus, a name believed to be rooted in Greek mythology. The story is that young Narcissus was blessed by the gods with eternal good looks and immortality, provided that he never looked at his own reflection.
