Daffodils




"Daffodils,
That come before the
swallow dares, and take
The winds of March
with beauty"
- William Shakespere,
The Winter's Tale

Today, people associate the bright,
yellow daffodil as a symbol of rebirth —
a sign of the new beginnings that come with spring.
Indeed, the daffodil is the birthday flower for March,
the month in which the spring equinox begins.
Daffodils are said to bring good fortune to the person who avoids trampling on them.
Lest they bring unhappy vanity to the bride, daffodils should never be present at a wedding.

They generally should be understood as saying:
"the sun is always shining when I'm with you."
