After the few days of warmer temperatures and lots of rain, we finally have a few tiny daffodils or narcissi (narcissuses?) blooming in our yard. According to Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pond. As he stayed there gazing upon himself and not leaving the pool, he eventually turned into the flowers of the same name - narcissus. The term narcissistic also derives from this story. Our little narcissi are far more humble.
