Flower of the Month March - Daffodil12 March 2012Flower of the Month March - Daffodil DAFFODILS are the traditional symbol for the Welsh on St David’s Day March 1st. And they are often what we first think of, when we think of spring. Bunnies, lambs, green shoots, daffodils. We’ve got the traditional yellow daffodils that everyone knows; they’re usually called “trumpet” daffs. And we also have more unusual sorts like tazettas – the mini-flowered daffodils that come in white as well as yellow. These often have a really strong perfume too, especially the Soleil d’Or variety. There’s even daffs that don’t look like daffs – well, strictly speaking they are called narcissi. They have frilled flowers, not trumpets, and as well as white and yellow ones that look like scrambled egg, they occasionally come in pinks and peach. So if you want something different come along and have a look! Dennis’ expert tip: daffodils and narcissus like cold water and cool rooms. This helps them last longer. Don’t mix them with other flowers unless you’ve got special flower food in the water. Ask us for a sachet of this if you’re buying a mixed spring bouquet.
