Plural of daffodil: a spring flower with a yellow or white trumpet-shaped center surrounded by petals.
From Dutch 'de affodil,' possibly from Latin 'asphodelus' (asphodel flower). The name shifted from the classical asphodel to this specific spring flower by the 1500s.
Daffodils are one of the few flowers that animals don't eat—they're toxic to most predators, which is why they reliably bloom in spring without getting munched, making them symbols of resilience!
