Originally, the daffodils are not special to me compared to other flowers such as tulips, daisies and lilies, since lots of people might already know what daffodils are. But some friends of mine have suggested to write a post regarding to this flower. They find the daffodils are really special.

Daffodils (also known a defodils in certain countries) are known as wildflowers. This flower could only be found in the European countries, Middle East and in Northern Africa. When time passes, these wildflowers have become so popular and well-recognised as garden plants. I even read some of the histories of the daffodils. In 1601, famous gardeners such as 'Van Sion' has discovered the daffodils, and brought them home to multiply them (increase the number). They have not seen such great flower before! Since 1600-1850, these flowers have been developed in different form.

I have also read some books, stating that the spring season will normally excites daffodils to bloom. When these flowers see sunlight, they will start producing some really nice flower scent which makes these flowers special! In places like Trentpark (somewhere in London), the daffodils has become a symbol representing the spring season has arrived. You see the daffodils are dying when the summer season is arriving. Though, usually you may only see white and yellow defodils in Trentpark, but seeing these 2 colors covering the park entirely will enlighten your day. I recalled back in year 2001, when Tracy and I sneaked out from the halls of residence in Trentpark (Gubbay hall, London, UK) at around 4:30 AM. Our aim is to pluck some defodils for its scent. When we saw some securities approaching us, we ran back to our room lol. How naive.
Hopefully the girls in Trentpark will not get mad or upset of me for 'stealing' the photo (below) from their blog :P Okay, this is interesting and important for people who receive defodils.

The defodil is the symbol for unrequited love (means loving someone but that person may not love you back) and / or a new beginning for a relationship, and so, it may not be fortunate to receive defodils on Valentines day. However, one defodil may represent misfortune whist a few represents happiness.
