Hedgerow Narcissus flowers

Definite signs of spring now that the weather has started getting warmer and the sun is shining - at least a little.

The village hedgerows are studded with spring flowers. Initially planted as rows of bulbs, they have seeded, hybridised and spread, and now provide a lovely mixed display.

This grouop caught my eye, with three different blooms together.

"When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

Wordsworth's lines came soon into my mind when I saw this splendid flower, thinking it was a daffodil...but then I read narcissus in your title and I wonder whether it's the same flower.
In any case , your photo in perfect light and so clean is superb!

Gavin Johnson replied to Adele:

Wordsworth put it beautifully, and that’s a lovely poem. You’re quite right, they are daffodils - ‘narcissus’ is just the botanical name for the whole family of daffodils from the single coned flower to the mass of small ones on a single stalk.

Narcissus describes them well… after the mythical man so handsome that he fell in love with his own reflection!
