White JonquilsWhite Jonquils are one of the earlier spring flowers. They belong to the Narcissi (plural of Narcissus), a group of hardy spring-flowering bulbs, including the daffodil. This botanic genus is named after the character Narcissus from Greek mythology. The most common colors of Narcissi are white and yellow.
Narcissi are mostly native to the Mediterranean region, but a few species are found through central Asia to China. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available in nurseries practically every year. Narcissi are sometimes called jonquils in North America, but strictly speaking that name belongs only to the rush-leaved jonquilla narcissi and its cultivars. Daffodils are the large trumpeted varieties of narcissi.
