Daffodils or Jonquils -Name that Flower
March has two special birth month flowers: daffodils and jonquils. The names are often used interchangeably, but are they the same? Although both belong to the Narcissus family, they are different plants with different characteristics--especially size, color, and scent.
Daffodils
Daffodils, or daffs, tend to be larger than jonquils with bigger flowers that come in an assortment of colors, including white, pink, peach, bicolor, apricot, and orange. Daffs have slim, sword-tipped foliage and each stem supports a single, lightly scented flower.
Jonquils
Jonquil flowers are very aromatic and the plants have slender leaves that are round at the tips. They tend to be shorter than daffodils and have multiple flowers per stem. Jonquils only grow in yellow hues.
However, no matter what you call them, both flowers are a welcome sight after a long winter. They symbolize rebirth, new beginnings, joy, and hope for the future.
