On this cold Minnesota day of negative temperature and wind chills the Daffodils I picked up at Trader Joe's decided to bloom today. They have a beautiful scent and brighten my day. This plants normally bloom in the spring and are a perennial. However, you can alter their blooming time by putting the bulbs in a dry dark space for a period of time and have them bloom any time of year you want.
I have several of these bulbs in my yard and several varieties are available.
Narcissus /nɑrˈsɪsəs/ is a genus of predominantly spring perennial plants in the Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis) family. Various common names including daffodil,[notes 1] daffadowndilly, narcissus, and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus.
