			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Narcissus is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Though Hortus Third  cites 26 wild species, Daffodils for North American Gardens cites between 50 and 100 excluding species variants and wild hybrids. Through taxonomic and genetic research, it is speculated that over time this number will likely continue to be refined. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year.</p>
<p>All Narcissus species have a central trumpet-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The seeds are black, round and swollen with hard coat. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional daffodil of folklore, poetry, and field may have a yellow to golden-yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. Breeders have developed some daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments, and several wild species also have known double variants.</p>

       <strong><font color="#FF0000"><p class="aw_review">The item came packed well shipping was fairly prompt for a lamp as this.
This is a cute lamp. has no seperate switch for nightlight.
I have many tiffany lamps but no Galle. I want to explain that Galle is suppose to be cameo glass and is
cut in a unique way to make the glass look three demensional. I have some vases and a bowel that is cameo glass
and it is cut deep in varying shades and depths.
The glass on this lamp is not like that. it is pretty!! but does not have the true cameo glass cut.
This lamp is made in china.
Real cameo glass is expensive though my bowl and vase were reproductions they were done by American artists
were double and triple the price of this lamp. so in essence you get what you pay for
I bought this lamp through Amazon

       <strong><font color="#FF0000"><p class="aw_review">There are lots of books on spring bulbs with glorious photos of tulips and daffodils, but finally here is a book that treats hyacinths as something other than a brief afterthought.  If you thought hyacinths come only in light pink, white, or blue prepare to be amazed.  There are soft orange, almost black purple, yellow, lilac, and wine hyacinths.  Most are single flowers but some have frilly double florets. Chapter 6 (20 pages) is nothing but hyacinths--photos of florets from different cultivars in side by side comparison, descriptions of over 100 species and cultivars, and history and cultivation tips.  For those with an interest in old Victorian varieties, Geoff Stebbings gives the introduction date, the introducer and even the parents where known.  He does the same excellent job for daffodils and tulips in other chapters, but there are other books that cover them.   However, if like me you have been enchanted by the sweet smell of hyanciths and want to know more, this is the book to get.</p>

<p>There are two derivations of the name. One is that of the youth of Greek mythology called Narcissus, who, in at least one of many variations of the tale, became so obsessed with his own reflection as he kneeled and gazed into a pool of water that he fell into the water and drowned. In some variations, he died of starvation and thirst from just sitting by the edge of the pool until he gave out, gazing at his reflection until he died. In both versions, the Narcissus plant first sprang from where he died. The other derivation is that the plant is named after its narcotic properties (narkoa, to numb in Greek). </p>
<p>There are several plurals in common use: "Narcissuses", "Narcissi", and "Narcissus". This last is common in American English but is very rare in British usage. The American Webster's Third New International Dictionary gives plurals in the order "Narcissus", "Narcissuses", and "Narcissi", but the British Compact Oxford English Dictionary lists just "Narcissi" and "Narcissuses".</p>
<p>The name Daffodil is derived from an earlier "Affodell", a variant of Asphodel. The reason for the introduction of the initial "d" is not known, although a probable source is an etymological merging from the Dutch article "de," as in "De affodil." From at least the sixteenth century "Daffadown Dilly", "daffadown dilly", and "daffydowndilly" have appeared as playful synonyms of the name.</p>
<p>The name jonquil is sometimes used in North America, particularly in the southeastern United States, but strictly speaking that name belongs only to the rush-leaved Narcissus jonquilla and cultivars derived from it. In the southern United States, narcissus are sometimes referred to as buttercups.</p>
<p>Flowers of the tazetta-group species Narcissus papyraceus are commonly called paperwhites.</p>
