Random flower: Jonquil
- Scientific / botanical name: Narcissus jonquilla
- Origin: Native to the western Mediterranean (Iberian Peninsula and nearby regions); widely cultivated and naturalized elsewhere.
- Petal count: Six tepals (the petal-like outer segments) plus a central corona (trumpet). Functionally you can count six petals + one trumpet.
- Color variations: Usually yellow or golden; also creamy white or pale yellow with darker yellow/orange cups; some cultivars show bi-color combinations.
- Growing season: Spring-blooming bulb — typically early to mid spring (buds set over winter; bulbs are planted in autumn in temperate climates).
- Typical stem length: about 15–40 cm (6–16 in) depending on variety and growing conditions.
- Flower care (planting to after-bloom):
- Planting: Plant bulbs in autumn, 2–3 times the bulb height deep (roughly 10–15 cm / 4–6 in) and spaced 10–15 cm (4–6 in) apart. Choose a site with full sun to light shade.
- Soil: Well-drained soil is essential (bulbs rot in waterlogged ground). Improve heavy soils with compost or grit.
- Watering: Keep moderately moist while shoots and flowers develop; reduce watering after foliage yellows. Avoid overwatering during dormancy.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer or a phosphorus-rich bloom fertilizer at planting and again after flowering to replenish the bulb (follow product instructions).
- After-flower care: Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed set, but leave the foliage intact until it yellows and dies back naturally — this lets the bulb store energy for next year.
- Division: Divide and replant crowded clumps every 3–5 years in autumn to maintain vigor.
- Cutting for vase: Cut stems when the trumpet is just beginning to open for best vase life; place in fresh water and change regularly.
- Cautions: Narcissus are toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals — wear gloves when handling bulbs if prone to irritation.
If you want, I can give cultivar examples, USDA hardiness range for your region, or a planting calendar tailored to your climate.
