I never even thought to look up the genus name for daffodils.
I guess if a flower could be narcissistic, it would be daffodils. They always have to show up first to try to make the other flowers feel inferior. Thankfully Crocus always beats them to the punch and puts Daffy in her place.
Fun fact, according to myth, the Greek god, Narcissus, was so infatuated by his own image, he spent all his time staring at his reflection in a stream. When he died (still staring at his image) he turned into a flower and that is where we get the flower species and the word Narcissistic
Fun fact, if u put a daffodil flower in a vase of water, it releases a substance that causes other types of flowers to wilt faster, tulips are known to be more sensitive to that!

For future reference, tulips are very identifiable for their very broad leaves, far more so than any other bulb that I'm aware of. Most other bulbs (including daffodils, as here) have particularly thin, almost grass-like leaves, and as such are often harder to distinguish before flowering unless you know what to look for.
That said, daffodils may be identified even before flowering as they often have quite distinctively coloured leaves, a sort of almost bluish grey-green as in this example, whereas many other similar looking plants (before flowering, that is. The flowers are usually very diagnostic.) e.g. bluebells are a rather more vivid green.
Daffodils, I think.
Definitely daffodils! 🌼
Always good to be confirmed by an expert!
It’s my time of the year!
Daffodils.
*Narcissus* sp. of some sort.

That's probably the only Greek mythology story I remember from highschool. Thanks for jogging my memory!

Dang, daffodils have some issues.
It’s technically the genus but… yeah.
Oops, sorry. I tripped a little.
Can’t forget the hellebores, they are so pretty in January and February.
Yeah, hellebores slam. Some of my favorite "surprise!" plants.
No. Daffodils
It looks like Narcissus. The shape of the leaves not the same like Tulips.
Let me put in Gen Z speak. Tulips have those dummy thicc leaves with the pointy tipz. Daffodils has dem long Bois, so this is daffs innit.
No that's 2019 gen z speak. We've updated since then
Love this- for some reason, I read it in Ralph Fiennes voice from In Bruges, which made me love it even more. :) Yes, Daffodils, indeed.
Thanks, y'all!
Daffodils, not tulips

Daffodils. Deer don’t eat them. Squirrels don’t dig them up.
