Description

Narcissus pseudonarcissus (commonly known as wild daffodil or Lent lily) is a perennial flowering plant. This species has pale yellow flowers,with a darker central trumpet.The long,narrow leaves are slightly greyish green in colour and rise from the base of the stem.The plant grows from a bulb.The flowers produce seeds,which when germinated,take five to seven years to produce a flowering plant.(Sexual [seed] reproduction mixes the traits of both parent flowers,so if garden hybrid cultivars are planted close to wild populations of Narcissus pseudonarcissus,there is a danger that the new seedlings,having hybrid vigour,could out-compete the wild plants.)
