Bright and cheerful in appearance, the yellow daffodil is an iconic symbol of Wales. Smaller in stature than its cultivated cousin, the wild plant is abundant throughout the meadows, woodlands and banks of Cymru. The flower is an emblem of St David’s day, likely because it blooms in early spring, coinciding with the saint’s death day on the 1st of March.
An ancient plant, daffodils are imbued with all kinds of symbolism across different cultures. In Christianity, the flowers are associated with Easter, new life and re-birth, and were said to have grown at the foot of Jesus’ cross. In ancient Greece, the flowers were connected to death and flourished near tombs. In Greek mythology, Persephone, picking daffodils, was snatched by Hades and taken to the underworld where the bulbs lined the banks of the river Styx. The vain youth Narcissus, so enchanted by his own reflection in a pool, was transformed into a single flower bearing his name.
Also known as ‘Lent lily’, the Welsh cenhinen Pedr means Peter’s leek, however the origins of this are vague; perhaps the daffodil was confused with a leek at some point but exactly who Peter is, is anyone’s guess.
Free postage: orders are dispatched within two working days with Royal Mail 2nd class service, unless selected otherwise.
