The daffodil is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Narcissus. Known for its bright yellow or white trumpet-shaped flowers, it typically blooms in early spring. Daffodils are often associated with renewal and are a popular choice for gardens and floral arrangements. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer sunny locations. Daffodils are also notable for their bulbous roots, which store nutrients and energy for the plant. These bulbs can be planted in the fall for spring blooms. Additionally, daffodils are toxic if ingested, containing compounds that can cause nausea and other symptoms, making them less appealing to animals.
