Narcissus in the desert
it's always amazing to see wildflowers in the desert. the Mediterranean daffodils with the wonderful scent - is even more so. apparently, they are a reminder for a time - long ago - when the climate was not so desert, and when the desert expanded here, they survived in the rocks, relying on surface runoff.
''Narcissus tazetta'' is a perennial ornamental plant that grows from a bulb. Cultivars of ''N. tazetta'' include 'Paperwhite', 'Grand Soleil d'Or' and 'Ziva', which are popularly used for forcing indoors, as is the form of ''N. tazetta'' known as Chinese Sacred Lily.
