What kind of plant is daffodil?

Narcissus is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family. The leaves of narcissus are drawn from the green-white tubular sheath at the top of the bulb, and then from the leaves. Generally, each bulb can produce 1 to 2 flower stalks, and as many as 8 to 11, with umbels. There are usually 6 petals, and the end of the petals is goose yellow. There is a bowl-like protective cover outside the stamen. The bulb is ovate to broadly ovate spherical, with a brown membrane on the outside. The leaves are narrow and ribbon-shaped, and the capsule is cracked on the back of the chamber. The flowering period is spring. Narcissus likes warm, humid and well-drained environment.

Why are daffodils so fragrant?

Reasons why daffodils are so fragrant:

The fragrance of flowers comes from a kind of oil cells in the petals, which continuously secrete fragrant oils. Because fragrant oils are easy to volatilize, when flowers bloom, the fragrant oils will be released along with the water. People smell the fragrance of some flowers, although there are no oil cells in their petals, but they also smell fragrant. Their cells contain a substance called glycoside, which will produce fragrance after enzyme decomposition. Generally speaking, white flowers and light yellow flowers have the strongest fragrance, followed by purple flowers, yellow flowers, and light blue flowers have the lightest fragrance, but there are exceptions, such as white peony is not as fragrant as purple roses, because the intensity of the fragrance of flowers depends on the variety of flowers. Some flowers have a stronger fragrance under the sun, such as sunflowers. Some flowers only emit a strong fragrance on rainy days or at night, such as tuberose and gardenia.
