Daffodils, the bright yellow blooms whose name has been used for poetry. Blooming daffodils means spring has arrived. Often associated with the meaning it represents–beauty and playfulness. Dancing with daffodils means that these blooms are full of joy and pleasure.

Also known as Narcissus, they possessed six petals that are shaped together like a trumpet. However, many varieties of daffodils exist today. Yellow becomes the most common daffodil color, but there are more varieties than that, such as orange and pink.
