Whether it\u2019s the robust yet dainty native wild daffodil or a host of golden cultivars, these vivid flowers are one of the first signs that spring is truly under way.<\/p>\n

Daffodils<\/a> of all sizes and shapes have been seen in the UK since the 17th century, when Shakespeare celebrated them as the flower that \u201ccomes before the swallow<\/a> dares\u201d, and bunches of wild blooms were sold by flower girls on the streets of London.<\/p>\n

These days you\u2019re more likely to find them in supermarket or out in the countryside, growing in village parks, country gardens and even in the wild.<\/p>\n
