The Narcissus is native to the Mediterranean area.
Narcissus got its name after the Greek God. He was very handsome and many women loved him but his excessive pride caused him to look down on these women with disdain. As a result, many of them killed themselves. His punishment for so many broken hearts was to look at his own face on the surface of the lake for eternity. He fell in love with himself and eventually dies of a broken heart himself.
Narcissus flowers come in three forms: ‘daffodil,' 'paperwhite' and "triandrus". Plant them in the fall for early spring blooms. They say that Narcissus – like the Greek God – will kill other plants so beware where you plant them.
