Narcissus: Daffodils
It’s springtime now — let’s set the scene… for flowers like you’ve never seen. Let’s take a tour of daffodils, a wonderland of yellow thrills! So many kinds, like pink and white, and doubles simply out-of-sight! We’ll check ‘em out — from A to Z, while serving springtime ecstasy. A reference book? Like Botany? No — I think it’s a Fantasy. Or is it History? Or Mystery? It’s everything — just wait and see!

Whether wandering the hills or whiling away an hour waiting for a train, no reader can fail to be touched by the lyrical, evocative beauty of William Wordsworth's verse contained in this anthology.
Daffodil
There is no harbinger of spring like a field or garden filled with bright yellow daffodils. But the world of the daffodil is much more than just its place in the march of the seasons. It’s a plant whose history starts with the tombs of the Pharaohs, through pre-Darwin evolutionary theory and Cornwall’s burgeoning bulb business, and leads to the current explosion of varieties from plant breeders seeking new colors, fragrances, and forms. Daffodil reveals a global plant infatuation that has led to more than 25,000 cultivars available in nearly every shade of yellow (and now pink, orange, and white). Noel Kingsbury tells the tale through an engaging narrative history and plant portraits that highlight more than 200 varieties. Jo Whitworth's revealing photography shows a side of the daffodil rarely seen. Plant lovers will relish the stories and gardeners will cherish the cultivation notes, plant descriptions, and recommendations.
