» Cottage_Garden - Narcissus Follow the Sun, Too

Did you know Narcissus (Daffodils) turn and follow the sun? They do! If you plant a row of them against a building for example, you will see them all face in one direction toward the strongest sun. I grew thousands of daffodils naturalized in the woods surrounding my house in Pennsylvania. The daffodils in the woods to the north of the house faced south and smiled at me. The daffodils in the woods to the south side of the house all turned their backs to me.

You can see this pretty little multi-flowered thing at Is it Sunny or Shady Here? I snapped this one in a yard here in southern California so I can't tell you which specific variety it is.
