Flower of the month: daffodils

This month, we are celebrating daffodils (or narcissus if you speak Latin!). I love them mainly because they are some of the first flowers to appear after a long, snowy and cold winter. Bright yellow daffodils poking their heads above snow-covered ground is a promise of warmer, sunnier days ahead!
