It's Daffodil Time !
Daffodils are one of the many great flowering Spring Bulbs, but probably the best known - other than the Tulips of course ! Daffodils Flower in late winter and spring, and there are many colours and varieties available. Plant them in full sun or semi-shade in garden beds or pots. Cool to temperate climates will suit them best. Make sure you plant the bulbs in a well-drained soil and a little fertiliser or mulch , and they will reward you with a wonderful display of flowers year after year. Daffodil bulbs can be bought from your local garden centre or supermarket while the plants are dormant in late summer and Autumn. I took these photos at a Sydney Garden.

They are true favourite in spring garden. If we plant it in autumn then they will bloom in late winter or early spring. The traditional daffodil flower may be yellow or white.

Thanks sir @ctrl-alt-nwo for always sharing some new beautiful flowers. We are really impressed to grow more flowers everywhere to make the world more beautiful.
Silly Sausage Award !! Well done for selecting great pics.
Daffodils are one of the easiest to grow and most popular spring flowering bulbs. If you think you know all about daffodils, consider that there are over 50 species and, according to the National Daffodil Society (NDS), there are "...over 25,000 registered cultivars (named hybrids) divided among the thirteen divisions of the official classification system." There's more to daffodils than the pretty yellow trumpet flowers that cheer up the spring landscape.
There's no data on how long a daffodil plant can live, but a stand of daffodil bulbs can easily out-live the person who plants them. You can often tell where a house foundation used to be because of the outline provided by the daffodils that were planted around it.
There's been a lot of confusion about whether all Narcissus were daffodils, but the NDS has put the matter to rest by saying the terms are synonymous. The botanical name, Narcissus, should be used for scientific writing and daffodil everywhere else. So daffodil it is.

@ctrl-alt-nwo,
I heard about this flower, but never see it! Actually it's beautiful, I could see pure Yellow color there! Amazing and yeah a good suited flower to the garden! Nice photography and yeah they are very stunning!
Cheers~
It's hard for me to add anything to those wonderful comments that already exist. But, it pleases that there are flowers that are well known all over the world. This is a common and understandable topic for people from different countries and different nationalities. Narcis, this is a testimony. Beautiful flowers and photos. It feels like spring has returned. In our region, these flowers have already faded, a few months ago. It is no longer possible to see on the streets grandmothers who sell these flowers. Cultivation of these unpretentious flowers on their land is a good help, addition to the small pension that elderly people receive.
You may also be surprised by how many different names these spring beauties go by: daffodil (of course), narcissus, and jonquil. Daffodil is the common name given to the plants by English-speaking people. Narcissus is the group’s botanical name, which many gardeners now use as its common name, too. And jonquils are a specific type of narcissus (Narcissus jonquilla), including popular varieties such as Baby Moon, Beautiful Eyes, Lemon Sailboat, Martinette and Pipit. Jonquils usually have one to three small fragrant flowers per stem with more cylindrical pointed leaves.

How nice! Good old daffodils! These are comfort flowers for me during my college days in England. Loved to walk in the parks in spring just to see these gentle yellow daffodils! Very nostalgic indeed.
Hi @ctrl-alt-nwo, That would be great information about Daffodil and brilliant photo clicks. I remember some of singer sung song of my country about Daffodil's flower compare some of beauty lady.
Daffodil, (Narcissus pseudonarcissus), also called common daffodil or trumpet narcissus, bulb-forming plant in the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae), widely cultivated for its trumpetlike flowers. Daffodils are native to northern Europe and are grown in temperate climates around the world. The daffodil’s popularity has resulted in the production of many varieties; in addition to the classic yellow form, the trumpet and petals may themselves be of contrasting yellow, white, pink, or orange.
The daffodil is a perennial and grows to about 41 cm (16 inches) in height. Each plant features five or six linear leaves that grow from the bulb and are about 30 cm (12 inches) long. The stem bears one large yellow blossom with a corolla deeply cleft into six lobes and a central bell-shaped crown, or corona, that is frilled at its edges. This trumpet shape contains the stamens and is the flower’s most conspicuous feature.
