Jonquil

These blossoms first found their way to the United States by way of European colonists, and were then spread throughout the south by early settlers. Since this bloom is a perennial – becoming dormant during the late summer months, then sprouting again in early spring – it naturally became a consistent part of the back drop of early American life, and has since become something of an “heirloom” plant.
The species narcissus jonquilla can be seen growing wild throughout southern portions of the United States. They grow in large, mostly yellow clusters that are frequently surrounded by distinctive, thin, rounded foliage which is a dark blue-green in hue.
The jonquil flower is thought to be one of the most abundantly grown plants in Texas.
