ABC Wednesday: J is for Jonquil

Jonquil is a tone of the color yellow and is also used as a name for narcissus (daffodil is another name for some narcissus).

Jumping jilly there sure are a lot of jonquils in my part of the world this time of year.

The center of the narcissus below is the jonquil color.

And below is another juicy jonquil.

Hazel said...: Seen those flowers somewhere but didn't know or must have forgotten it, they were called Jonquils which sounds like a nice name in fact. Quite honestly sometimes I think they look lovelier and prettier on pictures like these.; March 22, 2011 at 8:14 PM
