Daffodil Facts

daffodil

  • Daffodils contain a sap that is toxic to other types of flowers and can make your skin itch.
  • Daffodils are considered good luck in many countries, but giving someone just one daffodil is meant to be bad luck.
  • Daffodils are one of a small number of flowers that can bloom through the snow.

 

Flower Meaning

Scarcely has the winter’s snow disappeared from the sunny fields at the approach of spring when a charming, gold-colored flower makes its appearance – I mean the daffodil. I have chosen it from among its brethren and sisters, the fair children of spring and I have called it industry’s flower because it hastens to bloom as soon as possible.

– Rev. Frances Lasance, The Catholic Girl’s Guide

 

We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone.
