The History of Daffodils
by Melody Rose (melody) March 5, 2016
With the coming of March, that means daffodils for most of us in the temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. These sunny yellow flowers mean that spring is almost here.
Blooming daffodils have dotted the roadsides here in west Kentucky for the last couple of weeks and now that March is finally here, we're seeing many more of them. People assume that these pretty wildflowers that grace the fields and stream banks are simply natives, but the truth is, they've had a long and interesting journey.
The Roman army was responsible for introducing the daffodil to much of the known world. Native to southern Europe,Narcissus pseudonarcissus was believedto have medicinal properties and the Roman apothecaries and later the priests carried bulbs in their supplies and planted them wherever the army was stationed.daffs Unfortunately, using the daffodil in medicine was not a good idea, as the plants are highly toxic. Even deer refuse to eat them, but early medical textsshow recipes for treating anything from cuts and bruises to digestiveissues using daffodils.
These hardy bulbs naturalized all over northern and western Europe and we even get the familiar name 'daffodil' from the Dutch. They called it 'affo dyle', which means 'that which comes early' and from that, we ended up with daffodil, however when the flowers reached England, it was a perfect combination. The plants thrived and the population embraced them. The daffodil was even designated the floral emblem of Wales. Great drifts of these cheerful yellow blossoms graced the hedgerows, abbeys and fields all across Great Britain and it was only natural, when settlers journeyed abroad that they brought a familiar reminder of their past lives to their new lands. The bulbs were hardy and easy to transport over the ocean voyage, so a huge percentage of them survived and were planted all across the eastern seaboard and Appalachia.
daffsThe plant reproduces two different ways, forming the familiar offsets to the bulbs, which are then divided and planted elsewhere and also by seed. Unlike the larger and showier hybrids, the species produces viable seed which takes about 5 years to reach blooming size. That is why when left undisturbed, large colonies can take over abandoned home-sites, cemeteries and fields. It is often easy to tell where an old farmhouse stood because of the daffodils. We have a wonderful field of daffodils in our town and many people use it for photo opportunities. Often during the next few weeks, we'll see cars stopped and people snapping shots of their children in their Easter clothes. I even shot some of my niece, Audrey one sunny day.
