daffodil

Yellow spring bloom

A daffodil is a spring-flowering bulb plant with bright yellow or white trumpet-shaped blooms.

Native to Europe, daffodils are among the first flowers to appear after winter, making them symbols of renewal and hope: The daffodils are coming up.

The flower is also called narcissus or jonquil, though these terms have slightly different botanical applications.
