Daffodil Coloring Pages
Daffodil bulbs multiply underground, so one planted in the fall can turn into a whole clump of flowers in a few years. That's why you'll often see them coming up in the same spot every spring, long after anyone remembers planting them. Daffodils are the birth month flower for March.

Daffodils and Fantasy Creatures
Dragons
The red dragon is on the flag of Wales, and the daffodil is one of its national flowers, so a dragon among daffodils is about as Welsh as it gets. People there wear daffodils on St David's Day, March 1.
Fairies
Daffodils are some of the first flowers to open in spring, which would make a daffodil fairy one of the first fairies out of bed. She'd have the whole waking garden to herself for a while.
Gnomes
Garden gnomes were first made in Germany in the 1800s, and they've been keeping an eye on flower beds ever since.
Trolls
Trolls in old stories are famous for hoarding gold, so one look at a field of golden-yellow daffodils and a troll would think he'd struck it rich.
Unicorns
Old stories said a unicorn's horn could cure poison, which would come in handy in a daffodil patch, since every part of the plant is poisonous.
Fun Facts About Daffodils:
- The trumpet in the middle of a daffodil is called the corona, which is Latin for crown. The six petal-like parts around it are called the perianth.
- Every part of a daffodil is poisonous, from the bulb to the flower. Deer and squirrels leave them alone, and pets should too.
- Daffodils leak a sticky sap when they're cut, and it can make other flowers in the same vase wilt sooner. Give them their own vase for the longest-lasting bouquet.
