Narcissus, the scientific name, comes from the Greek myth of the vain youth
Daffodils are native to western Europe and North Africa. The ancient Greeks associated them with the myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his reflection. Romans brought daffodils to Britain, where they became beloved spring flowers. The American Cancer Society adopted them as symbols of hope in the 1950s.
