White Narcissus


As I walked around the various gardens at Cheekwood last weekend, I happened upon this beautiful Narcissus plant blooming in one of the gardens. I love these flowers and, I myself, tend to think of them as Daffodils, but have learned from looking up the Daffodil that this is a Narcissus.


They are also called Jonquils which I did not know either. Regardless, of what you call the plant, they are a sign of Spring known the world over and one of the most popular flowers around the world. We have had a week of rain off and on and it appears we are in for more of the same for another week. We have seen a few peeks of sunshine between the raindrops throughout the week. I have to tell you though, I am thoroughly tired of rainy, dreary days. While it isn't snow or ice, I didn't expect this much rain in Tennessee. As I wait out the rain, in hopes of a sunnier week down the road, I hope wherever you are, you are enjoying your weekend. ENJOY!

  1. Such purity with that bit of flair at the center! We continue with snow here - it looks like it will continue all next week. Bob and I may have to travel to sunshine!

  2. And any bulb that glows, beautiful, no matter the name or title. Perfect settings.

  4. A beautiful bloom. I like the white ones and only have yellow. I cut a bunch from my garden to bloom in the house and they are starting to open up. :)
