Over 150 species of daffodils exist and this popular flower dates back to ancient Greece.
Of all the flowering plants, the bulbous have been the most popular for cultivation. Narcissi are one of the most important spring flowering bulb plants in the world.
If bulb extracts come into contact with wounds, both central nervous system and cardiac symptoms may result.Despite the lethal potential of Narcissus alkaloids, they have been used for centuries as traditional medicines for a variety of complaints, including cancer. In China N. tazetta var. chinensis was grown as an ornamental plant but the bulbs were applied topically to tumors in traditional folk medicine. These bulbs contain pretazettine, an active antitumor compound.
Generally daffodils bloom in early March, this year they are even earlier with our spring like weather.
