Wild Daffodil - Narcissus pseudonarcissus, also known as Lent Lily, once common throughout the british countryside, this would have been the golden flower that inspired William Wordsworth.
'I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.'
a bright cheery flower, heralding spring - birth and renewal, it is the national flower of Wales as it blooms around St Davids Day.
there is a lot of historical evidence of using Daffodils for medical preparation, it is an emetic and excellent wound healer, drawing out impurities, but it is NOT advised for the novice to use, however there is currently a lot of interest and research being done on it's possible use for Alzheimer's and Cancer treatments, once again we find ourselves looking to Mother Nature for the answer.
