All across Wales around the beginning of March, the country comes alive with meadows of richly coloured flowers as the Daffodils begin to bloom. Brought to Wales by the Romans and named after the Greek god Narcissus, who looked into a pool saw his reflection and fell in love with himself, the Daffodil is the national flower of Wales and along with newborn lambs, heralds the arrival of Spring. Also as the the Daffodil begins to bloom around the 1st of March, it has also come to symbolise St Davids Day, commemorating the patron saint of Wales and you see many a patriotic Welsh person wearing a Daffodil in their lapels. The Daffodil is a fairly young emblem of Wales, gaining popularity in the 19th century as women especially, were fond of this bright cheerful flower. At the beginning of the 20th century it became even more closely associated with the Principality when Welshman and British Prime Minster David Lloyd George wore it on St David's Day and at ceremonies to mark the investiture of the then Prince of Wales. They come in all shapes and sizes, from a rich yellow to one that looks just like a fried egg!

从三月份开始，整个威尔士都是颜色鲜艳的花，因为水仙开始开花了。水仙花是罗马人带来的，希腊国王看到了河里自己的影子，并深深地爱上了自己。水仙就是威尔士的国花。它与新生的小羊羔一起, 宣布了春天到来。大概在3月1 日左右水仙开始开花的时候, 也象征圣 大卫节的到来, 这是来纪念威尔士的圣人，而且你会看见许多爱国人士佩带一朵黄水仙在他们的翻领上。

水仙是很年轻的威尔士的象征,在19世纪流行，因为尤其是妇女很喜欢这种明亮鼓舞人心的花. 在20世纪初，更加紧密地与公国联系在一起——威尔士人和英国首相大卫乔治在圣大卫节庆祝仪式戴上它,还有在威尔士王子的授权仪式上.它们形状大小不一，有的是饱满的黄色的，还有的看起来像个煮过的鸡蛋。
