Table of Contents

One of our earliest spring flowers of the wood is the lovely Daffodil or Lent Lily (Narcissus Pseudo-narcissus) of the order Amaryllidaceæ. This plant develops from a bulb—an underground bud formed of thick, fleshy leaves; and the flowers appear during March and April. The perianth is composed of a tube and six spreading limbs of a delicate yellow colour; and a deep, bell-shaped, golden coronet, beautifully notched and curled at the rim.
