Daffodils get their Latin name from the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection.

The flower in the legend was probably this one, the white and orange Narcissus tazetta, known to have grown in ancient Greece.

In Greek mythology, Echo was an Oread. Zeus loved consorting with nymphs & Echo tried to protect Zeus from his wife Hera. Hera made Echo only able to speak the last words spoken to her. When Echo fell in love with Narcissus,she was unable to tell him how she felt

My favourite thing about spring is the blooming of the spring bulbs - narcissus, iris, hyacinth, muscari, tulip. Such beautiful colours after the drabness of winter ❤️ https://t.co/x3aED7ZdYc

RIP gay camp filmmaker James Bidgood who has died at 88. His only movie, "Pink Narcissus," took him 7 years to make, between 1963 and 1970, all shot in his tiny NYC apartment. He took his name off of it after a dispute w/ the editors, so it was attributed to "Anonymous" for years

This we've chosen the 1903 painting of Echo and Narcissus by J. W. Waterhouse!

It depicts Narcissus, who, enamoured with his own reflection, rejects the love of Echo for so long that only her voice remains.

John William Waterhouse – Echo and Narcissus, 1903. In this perfectly balanced painting, the nymph Echo, perched on a rock, tense with frustrated desire, gazes hopelessly at the languorous, lithe body of Narcissus as he gazes at his reflection in a pool... https://t.co/NLnBPGp2Im

Here am I, condemned by to only repeat the words of others. I cannot warn my love as he wastes away, mesmerised by his reflection & mute. It may be fault, such a jealous Goddess but what did I, do to to deserve such a pitiful story.
