View On Black

Narcissus L. ou narciso é um género botânico pertencente à família Amaryllidaceae. As cores de suas flores geralmente variam entre o amarelo e o branco. A sua origem é o Mediterrâneo e partes da Ásia central e a China continental mas são cultivares ornamentais difundidos em muitas outras partes do mundo, como nos Estados Unidos, no Canadá e na Argentina. O seu nome tem origem no personagem mitológico Narciso.
Floresce no princípio da primavera e é frequentemente encontrada em solo húmido perto de uma lagoa. É auto-suficiente. A flor tem normalmente seis pétalas brancas com um funil central amarelo contendo o estamina e o estigma. O caule inclina-se antes da flor, pendendo de forma a que a flor esteja virada para baixo em vez de para cima.
Segundo o mito, isto é porque Narciso, o personagem mitológico, estava a olhar para baixo para o seu reflexo quando foi transformado na flor. Senão, o caule estaria direito e firme.
No Islão, o Hadith de Bukhari associa a flor com o homem honesto e recto. O símbolo também foi comparado com a transformação da vaidade e auto-centrismo na humildade de um ser mais individuado e espiritual.
pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus
Narcissus (pronounced /nɑrˈsɪsəs/ is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Though Hortus Third cites 26 wild species, Daffodils for North American Gardens cites between 50 and 100 including species variants and wild hybrids. Through taxonomic and genetic research, it is speculated that over time this number will probably continue to be refined. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year.
