Daffodils are bright yellow or white flowers that are some of the very first to bloom in the springtime, sometimes even pushing right up through the snow! They have a special shape with a little trumpet in the middle surrounded by a ring of petals. Daffodils originally come from Europe and have been loved by people for hundreds of years.

Daffodils grow from bulbs that stay hidden under the soil all winter long, staying safe and snug until spring arrives. When you see daffodils popping up out of the ground, it is a sure sign that warmer weather is on the way. They are the national flower of Wales, and the Welsh people wear daffodils on a special holiday every March.
