There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Though Hortus Third cites 26 wild species, Daffodils for North American Gardens cites between 50 and 100 including species variants and wild hybrids. Through taxonomic and genetic research, it is speculated that over time this number will probably continue to be refined.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>There are two derivations of the name. One is that of the youth of Greek mythology called Narcissus, who, in at least one of many variations of the tale, became so obsessed with his own reflection as he kneeled and gazed into a pool of water that he fell into the water and drowned. In some variations, he died of starvation and thirst from just sitting by the edge of the pool until he gave out, gazing at his reflection until he died. In both versions, the Narcissus plant first sprang from where he died.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The other derivation is that the plant is named after its narcotic properties (?a???? narkao, \u201cI grow numb\u201d in Greek). There are several plurals in common use: \u201cNarcissuses\u201d, \u201cNarcissi\u201d, and \u201cNarcissus\u201d. This last is common in American English but is very rare in British usage. The American Webster\u2019s Third New International Dictionary gives plurals in the order \u201cNarcissus\u201d, \u201cNarcissuses\u201d, and \u201cNarcissi\u201d, but the British Compact Oxford English Dictionary[clarification needed] lists just \u201cNarcissi\u201d and \u201cNarcissuses\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The name Daffodil is derived from an earlier \u201cAffodell\u201d, a variant of Asphodel. The reason for the introduction of the initial \u201cd\u201d is not known, although a probable source is an etymological merging from the Dutch article \u201cde,\u201d as in \u201cDe affodil.\u201d From at least the 16th century, \u201cDaffadown Dilly\u201d, \u201cdaffadown dilly\u201d, and \u201cdaffydowndilly\u201d have appeared as playful synonyms of the name.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The name jonquil is sometimes used in North America, particularly in the South,[clarification needed], but strictly speaking that name belongs to only the rush-leaved Narcissus jonquilla and cultivars derived from it.[citation needed]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Flowers of the tazetta-group species Narcissus papyraceus are commonly called paperwhites.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-like fb_iframe_widget\" data-href=\"\" data-send=\"true\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-width=\"208\" data-height=\"17\" data-show-faces=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div id=\"MemoAutoContent\">\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\">Light yellow\/white leave with dark yellow calyx.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-like fb_iframe_widget\" data-href=\"\" data-send=\"true\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-width=\"208\" data-height=\"17\" data-show-faces=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[162,171],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1813","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-daffodils","7":"product_cat-spring-flowering","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1813"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1813"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1813"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bulbsbymail.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
