Narcissus, that decided to take a different approach

Hello, I hope you are all well. I am also fine. I hope you have a good day as well as I have a good day. Have a great day.

Have you ever idea approximately the call Narcissus and why this flower has were given this call? Do you suspect it's so lovely that merits that call? I do not forget my mother informed me some thing approximately a tale from Greek mythology once I requested once I turned into small. We had those flora withinside the lawn and it turned into the illustration of spring. I can constantly join the photo of it with Easter and whilst all of the different flora began out to bloom in our lawn. .

It is not strange probably, as every year I see them blooming on these dates, at the end of the year. I searched for more information about this plant and its origins. It seems that the species of it are native to southern Europe and especially the Western Mediterranean area, and more particularly to the Iberian peninsula.

Reading approximately it and its specific species, habitats, I once more got here throughout the feasible interpretation of the call. Maybe alternatively of having the call from Νάρκισσος (Narcissus) who in Greek mythology changed into the son of god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope, it has some thing to do with a poisonous thing. Seems that it derives from the Greek phrase ναρκὰο (narcotic) due to the intoxicating scent of the flowers. Well, absolute splendor and having an intoxicating scent, what an excellent combination, right? But take care, now no longer to appearance and scent it an excessive amount of then.

But all this you already have known. And more of it. You maybe also know that the leaves of them are indeed toxic, for animals that can accidentally eat them... for humans too. But don't worry, I will not use them for preparing some dishes. These flowers are just for aesthetic purposes in our shared garden with my neighbors. We all saw them with their beautiful white and yellow (sometimes orange) petals, proudly observing the world from their tall stems. However, some of them wanted to observe that same world from another perspective. Some flowers decided to take a more relaxed way of presenting themselves, lying on the leaves of the plant. These flowers lay and rested...they decided to take a different approach. For sure, why all of them should be proud and tall? They were gorgeous, even in this pose
