The leaves are long and narrow, and they are planted in two rows. Scape is hollow, flat and cylindrical, usually there are several scapes per ball, many of which can reach more than 1, and each scape can reach more than 1, forming an umbrella inflorescence.
Because most of them are water-fed, and the leaves are beautiful, the flowers are rich and graceful, so they have the nickname of "Lingbo Fairy". Narcissus is mainly distributed in warm and humid areas along the southeast coast of China, and Zhangzhou, Xiamen and Chongming Island in Shanghai are the most famous. Narcissus is a herbaceous flower, also known as Jinzhan Yintai, Yulinglong, Ya Garlic, etc. It originated in Fujian, Zhejiang, China, and now it has spread all over the country and all over the world. Narcissus has beautiful flowers, green leaves, fragrant flowers, delicate and elegant, and has become one of the world-famous winter indoor and garden furnishings.
There are more than 8 species of this genus in the world, of which more than 1 species are highly ornamental. Narcissus is originally distributed in Central Europe, Mediterranean coast and North Africa. Narcissus in China is a variety of Daffodil, named Narcissus tazetta var. Chinensis Roem.
China was cultivated in the Tang Dynasty more than 13 years ago, which won people's love. It is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Narcissus is distributed in the southeast coastal areas in China, with Chongming County in Shanghai and Zhangzhou in Fujian being the most famous. Hundreds of years ago, Suzhou, Jiading and other places also produced narcissus. In addition to the common white narcissus, there is also a yellow variety called trumpet narcissus. Narcissus has a long history of cultivation in Europe. Since 193s, the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain and other countries have done a lot of work on the breeding and variety improvement of daffodils. At present, there are 26, cultivated varieties, and new varieties are born every year. The cultivation of daffodils in China began at the end of 19th century.
On January 9th, 26, Zhang Bingchun, a citizen of Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China, cultivated daffodils with different colors, such as red, yellow, blue and green, so they were also called colored daffodils.
There are two main strains of Chinese narcissus:
(1) Single petal type: the flower is single petal, white, the perianth is 6-lobed, and there is a golden ring crown in the center, so it is called "Golden Lamp and Silver Platform", also known as "Wine Cup Narcissus"; If the vice crown is white, with many flowers and thin leaves, it is called "Yinzhanyutai".
(2) Double-petal type: the flower is double-petal, white, and the perianth is 12-split, and it is called "Louvre Narcissus" or "Yulinglong". The flower shape is not as beautiful as that of a single petal, and the fragrance is also poor. It is a variety of narcissus.
In addition, it can be divided into Zhangzhou Narcissus and Chongming Narcissus according to the origin. Narcissus usually refers to Zhangzhou Narcissus. The difference between Chongming Narcissus and Zhangzhou Narcissus is that "castration" surgery is generally not allowed for dry land cultivation, and the bulbs are small and dense, with less flowers per bulb, generally only 1-2 flowers. According to the experiment of Shanghai Botanical Garden, there is no great difference between Chongming narcissus cultivated by Zhangzhou narcissus and Zhangzhou narcissus.

Legend of Narcissus
Legend in China:
Narcissus is said to be the incarnation of E Huang and Nv Ying, the daughters of Yao Emperor. They both married Shun, with the elder sister as the queen and the younger sister as the princess, and they had a very good relationship. Shun crashed on his southern tour, and E Huang and Nv Ying both died in Xiangjiang River. God had mercy on their beloved, so he turned their souls into daffodils by the river, and they became the flower gods of daffodils in December. According to this, predecessors wrote many poems praising daffodils, such as Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen, and the Song Dynasty's Daffodils were endowed before and after. If they condense the beauty of daffodils to one point, it is "purity".
It is said that there was a kind peasant woman in Yuanshan, Caiban Village, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, who helped hungry and dying beggars. The beggar used to be a fairy, spraying his food around the house, and then he grew a daffodil with a golden lamp and a silver platform. Giving daffodils in the folk means praising your good heart and good luck, and congratulating you on your good luck and everything is satisfactory.

Narcissus prose
-
When I first bought it back, I thought it was a mistake under the enthusiastic persuasion of the shopkeeper.
I bought a narcissus bulb for five yuan. It is unremarkable. If it is mixed in the food market and my eyes are not good, it is probably considered to be a new garlic.
The New Year is coming, except for posting the scarlet blessing. Hanging gorgeous Chinese knots, I really hope to put a pot of delicate and charming flowers in front of the window. The thriving weather and the fragrance of the house will surely bring joy and good omen to the new year. The devil makes a difference, because narcissus is cheap and well-bred, which makes me move my heart at once. I am so busy at work at ordinary times and have no knowledge of cultivation, so I really have no time to take care of plants that are more precious than it.
Narcissus, a fairy in the water, is a beautiful name. It is said that Nassos, a beautiful young man in ancient Greece, refused divines's courtship because of his infatuation with his appearance. So Aphrodite, the god of love, made him fall in love with the inverted image in the water at first sight in order to punish him. From then on, the proud boy lingered by the water, haggard with love, and finally drowned, turning his body, soul and heart into beautiful daffodils.
A beautiful story must be based on reality. Narcissism is mostly because of one's beauty and affection, and one gains a kind of joy while observing oneself. Live in the world of self, show and appreciate the masterpiece of the creator from the heart to the gestures. Looking back at the ancient fairy dancing in the water, the water reflected the waves, which was an intoxicating picture.
So, I have a little more hope and concern in my heart. Every time I come home from work, I can't help but look at the daffodils in the corner of the window sill first. I put it in a transparent glass bottle so that its tender roots can be clearly seen in the bottle. Narcissus is an independent plant, so it doesn't need the owner to worry too much. Remember to change the water once a week, without fertilization or careful care. For those of us who have a small memory and a large forgetfulness, it's really too worry-free.
Narcissus is very silent, living in a new home and growing silently, with no obvious changes. Mr. Wang made fun of me for buying a piece of garlic to raise. Obviously, he didn't expect much from narcissus, and I was a little disappointed. Women's eighteen changes, the prosaic childhood does not mean the mediocrity atrophy when they grow up. Perhaps this is another story about the ugly duckling turning into a swan. In order to prove it to my husband, I secretly encouraged the daffodils.
One day, my narcissus will grow up and become beautiful, like a proud princess. Narcissus seems to know my mind, so a little bit of leaves grow and roots grow, and a month later, garlic turns into a lush appearance. Mr. Wang was sarcastic again, but I was still very happy, because the day of success is getting closer and closer.
if you look closely in the sun, the roots as thin as silver thread are spinning in the water, spotless and tender as the hairs on a child's face. The green leaves, tall and slender, natural and smooth veins, shine with the light of youth.
There are many aliases for daffodils found on the Internet. Because it looks like garlic and onion, the ancients also called it elegant garlic and onion. This elegant word, to the narcissus graceful expression, respectively, clear. There are also names such as Lingbo Fairy, Jinyintai, Yulinglong, Yao Nvhua and Nvshi Hua. Besides depicting its graceful image, there are some beautiful legends.
Yao Nvhua comes from such a story. A couple named Yao gave birth to a beautiful and well-behaved daughter. When her daughter grew up, she was taken fancy to by local tyrants and wanted to seize her as a wife. The stubborn girl refused to be humiliated and threw herself into the river. God pitied her chastity and turned her soul into narcissus.
Compared with Greek mythology, China's mythology is somewhat more heroic. If Nassos sacrificed his life for the pursuit of perfect love, China's Yao daughter is an unyielding struggle against the darkness to maintain human dignity. I'm not afraid of being smashed to pieces. I want to leave my innocence in the world. This delicate flower has the character of China culture.
More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye. Narcissus lived up to my wishes. A thick flower stem grew among the green leaves, and two or three beige flower buds were bred at the top of the stem. The flowering period is near, as if I saw the proud golden lamp and silver flower swaying in front of the window with a smile and charm.
unexpectedly, the weather is unpredictable. The rainy weather for several days delayed the original hope. This year, the south suddenly encountered a rare cold weather, and half of China was beautiful and handsome in winter, but this year it is covered with snow and white.
Shanghai has also suffered the coldest weather in the past years. For more than half a month, the sky was gray and there was no sunshine at all. The room is also cold and unbearable. In this weather, even people are shrinking.
hope turned into worry. I visit daffodils every day. Because there was no light, and the temperature plummeted, the leaves of narcissus began to turn yellow and drooped, and the buds condensed, shrinking as if they were afraid of cold. Time seems to have stopped. Everything loses its vitality.
I began to pay attention to the news and the daily weather forecast. This year's snow is heavier than in previous years, which makes the people who were originally happy to prepare for the New Year unprepared. Every day, it is reported that railway stations, airports and bus stations are overcrowded, and anxious people are struggling with bad weather and congested traffic in order to go home for the New Year.
this winter, many people have a hard time. The migrant workers who have worked hard for a year are eagerly stuck at the station, cold and hungry. The service staff in the waiting room are hoarse and maintain the order of collapse at any time day and night. The traffic police put on thick winter clothes and stood upright on the cold street to guide the traffic. Power emergency, traffic emergency, food emergency, coal emergency ...
Three electric workers were killed trying to clear the snow on the high-voltage line in the freezing weather. On the day of the funeral, the crowds on the streets of Changsha lined up. The solemnity of black and white under the sky makes this season desolate and tragic. Ordinary work has become a belief in bad weather. They pay not only hard work, but also a silent responsibility for social responsibility.
The heaviness in my heart has become the most meaningful commemoration of this winter. After the difficult period of freezing, daffodils also ushered in the long-lost warm sunshine. I quickly put it on the balcony, like a daffodil lazily hanging its green hair after recovering from a serious illness. The withered bud seems to be peeling off, but tiny white buds are bulging in the depths of the flower stem. New life is like a tearful smile, which makes the winter of 27 full of spring and vitality.
I was carving a pot of daffodils carefully this morning, and I bought her before the flower seller carved it. She has slightly exposed a little bud, slightly green, but the skin is slightly boring without carving, so it does not affect my appreciation of her beauty after the flowers bloom. Her fragrance is overflowing the bedroom, and the fragrance permeates the whole hall, giving me enough imagination space.
there is a big bud in the middle, and five small buds surround the elder sister. They are connected by bones and tendons. I can't bear to separate them, so I have to slowly correct them.
The dried outer skin, together with the tree body with slightly white inner substance and slightly green buds, was added with a little mud at the roots, and a net was added to trap their sisters to prevent their separation, so they were transported thousands of miles from the far south to the northern city.
It took me an hour and a half to fix her, and I washed my hands three times in the middle. I couldn't bear to touch her limbs with my muddy hands. She is so delicate, a pretty face that I really like.
