Botanical Information
Daffodils are part of the Amaryllis family and their botanical name is Narcissus. One of the first perennials to bloom after Winter frost, they are native to parts of Europe and North Africa. They multiply and bloom year after year, aren't fussy about their soil and will grow in full sun or semi-shade.
Daffodils are typically yellow or white, have six petal like tepals surrounding a trumpet or corona and long, narrow leaves. They are also known as "Lent Lily", "Bell Rose" or "Daffadowndilly".
Daffodils and their meaning
The Daffodil, (Cenhinen Pedr in Welsh, literal meaning, Peter's leek), is the National flower of Wales, and we celebrate our Patron, Saint David on March 1st.
As a Welsh business, making in the "Heart of Wales", Daffodils are very important to us. They were one of our first designs many years ago, their colours and sizes have evolved and developed along with our business and you may have noticed that they feature on our logo.
Interestingly, in the Victorian language of flowers, to receive one Daffodil implies "misfortune", whilst several means "joy and happiness". We therefore wish you a Spring filled with many Daffodils and as much joy and happiness as you can manage!
Where can I find Daffodils in the North Wales Landscape?
The true Welsh Daffodil, Narcissus pseudonarcissus, or the Tenby Daffodil, isn't easily found here in Gwynedd, nevertheless in springtime, bright yellow drifts decorate the landscape. If you are lucky enough to find our native Daffodil, you'll note that it is less showy than garden varieties, with thin petals that are paler than the trumpet and often greyish green leaves.
