The name celandine is from the Latin 'chelidonia' (Swallow) as its flowering was thought to coincide with the bird's spring arrival. It's an etymology that is perfect for the winged charm of Cicely Mary Barker's celandine flower fairy.

“The children are playing & hark! they are saying that Daffy-down-dilly is come up to town!” Part of a verse by Cicely Barker.
Flower lore says that giving just one daffodil will bring misfortune, while giving an abundance brings joy & happiness.
