Daffodil is the common name for all members of the genus 'Narcissus'.  Its ancestors come from the states around the Mediterranean Sea (Spain, Portugal, and the Middle East-Turkey.  Some research indicates that daffodils were mentioned around 200 of 300 B.C.

Daffodils are a great naturalizing plant (as shown in the picture) and are one of the first signs of spring.  They grow perennially from bulbs planted in the fall.  (Bonus - deer do not like them.)

They do best in well-drained soil and after blooming, feed with a bulb type fertilizer.  Wait until the leaves start to turn yellow (late May) before you prune them back.  Every five to six years, divide the clumps of bulbs in early summer.
