Flower of March - Daffodil

This month is synonymous with the onset of spring (in the Northern Hemisphere). Accordingly the flower associated with this month is Daffodil also known as Jonquil or Narcissus. The colours of the bloom include white, yellow and orange. A gift of these flowers conveys the hidden meaning of friendship and happiness.
Daffodils have inspired many including the famous writers and the poet, Wordsworth, wrote probably the most frequently recited lines of poetry today, "I wandered lonely as a cloud". He probably did, you probably won't. The daffodils he referred to were discovered on a walk in the woods at Gowbarrow Park overlooking Ullswater and adjacent to the Aira Force Waterfall, which tumbles 70 feet down a rocky ravine before joining the Ullswater Lake, where they still flower today.
