If you read 'Narcissus', just a name, what pops into your mind?
The Narcissus in Greek mythology who loses himself in his own beauty?
Or the fragrant flowers called 'daffodil'.
I only knew today 'Narcissus' is the scientific name for daffodil. I was frankly surprised. Why do they name the flower in such way. And it happened to be one of my favourite flowers.
Daffodils are joyful, delicate white petals swaying in a summer afternoon, over the mellows, in your dreams, an impression I have from readng William Woodsworth's 'I wandered lonely as a cloud'.
So they're called Narcissus.
