Narcissus, a part of the Amaryllis family, are commonly called Daffodils or Jonquils.
Native to Europe, North Africa, and West Asia,
now they are grown in many countries around the world.
Because they are easy-to-grow, they are often planted in public places.
This en masse planting is in the Mill Village neighborhood of Tupelo, MS

Colors range from white to various shades of yellow and orange.
However, plant breeders are developing other colors - shades of pink, rose, and lavender.
TheTrumpet varieties have center sections that are as long or longer than the petals.
Small-Cupped Daffodils have short center sections,
no more than one-third the length of the petals.
My favorite variety is this Double Daffodil, Butter and Eggs.
According to Wikipedia, Narcissus can be used as a singular or plural noun.
However, Narcissi and Narcissuses are also acceptable in both American and British English.
Happy Monday!
