Daffodil

Daffodils are a common cause of dermatitis amongst florists, with daffodil sap provoking symptoms such as redness and dry, scaly skin.

The daffodil is the national flower of Wales.

Her skin was just as white as snow, but her teeth as yellow as a daffodil.

Among the most notable flowers, at the start of Spring, are the Violet, the Crow-tree, the Daffodil, then the Lilies, white and yellow, and blue; and Clove-gillow flowers, and so on.

I am the daffodil of Saron, the lily of the valley.

When daffadils begin to peere, / With heigh the Doxy ouer the dale, / Why then comes in the ſweet o’ the yeere, / For the red blood raigns in yͤ winters pale.

I wandered lonely as a Cloud / That floats on high o’er Vales and Hills, / When all at once I saw a crowd / A host of dancing Daffodills; / Along the Lake, beneath the trees, / Ten thousand dancing in the breeze.

Was there ever a more beautiful name in the world than daffodil? Say it over to yourself, and then say “agapanthus” or “chrysanthemum,” or anything else you please, and tell me if the daffodils do not have it.

As us fairy folks sweep from the hill Never caught us and never will Pulling roses and daffodils Mayhem in the high degree.

Where ships of purple gently toss / On seas of daffodil, / Fantastic sailors mingle, / And then—the wharf is still.
