Narcissus (daffodil) is a perennial spring flower of the amaryllis family. Narcissus are native to meadows and woods in southern Europe, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. Prior to the tenth century, wild and cultivated plants were naturalized extensively in the Far East. Several common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe most members of this genus. Narcissus were well known in ancient civilization for their medicinal qualities; however, their ornamental attributes continue to make them a popular attraction in the garden and as a potted plant that blooms in the home each spring. Although the exact origin of the name Narcissus is unknown, it is linked to the Greek word for "intoxicated," (narcotic). In Greek mythology Narcissus was an extremely handsome young man who fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. The goddess of revenge, Nemesis, cursed him because he broke so many hearts. Nemesis’ curse caused him to fall in love with his own reflection. Eventually, Narcissus drowned in the water, and turned into a flower that bears his name, Narcissus. “White Daffodil and Rock,” is a hand-painted digital image created in Spadecaller’s Florida Studio on 12/24/2020.
