Jonquil is a type of flowering plant belonging to the Narcissus genus, commonly known for its bright yellow flowers. These flowers typically bloom in early spring and are characterized by their trumpet-shaped structure and sweet fragrance. Jonquils are often found in gardens and naturalized areas, thriving in well-drained soil and sunny locations. The name "jonquil" is sometimes used interchangeably with daffodil, but it specifically refers to a particular species, Narcissus jonquilla. This plant is native to the Mediterranean region and is popular for its ornamental value. Jonquils are also known for their ability to naturalize, meaning they can spread and grow in various environments over time.
