Daffodil
Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) is one of our most popular Easter flowers and a beautiful sign of spring. According to the language of flowers, daffodils have two different meanings. It can partly mean "I love but not you" but also "my pride".
The family name Narcissus is said to come from the Greek youth Narcissus, who, after rejecting the love of a number of young women, was condemned to fall in love with his own reflection. The impossible love made Narcissus fade away and soon a flower sprouted where he died. The flower was named Narcissus.
