Daffodil

 

Daffodils are early spring-blooming bulbs. They have green, strap-like leaves with bright flowers. Daffodils usually have yellow or white flowers, but sometimes come in pink or orange. Each flower has a center cup or "trumpet" surrounded by flatter petals.

Daffodils are one of the earliest flowers to bloom in spring. In addition, unlike tulips or other flower bulbs, they are very deer and rabbit resistant.
