Have you ever heard of the Narcissus plant?
I've heard the name Narcissus before, but I didn't know it was a plant, no. What is it?
The more common names would be a daffodil, jonquil, etc.. they are all members of the Narcissus variety
Oh I know what a daffodil is, duh. My sister actually has made paintings of them before. She's incredibly talented.
The genus has about 50 species/varieties, but the scientific name is just not that well known.
Scientific names and taxonomic nomenclature are kind of arcane to most people, yeah. To be fair though, you don't need to really know the genus/species unless you're a scientist.
It's kinda funny, apparently the narcissus word comes from the Green word for intoxicated (narcotic) - but of course these flowers do not have that kind of an affect on people.
Haha, certainly not the way poppies do, as the Wicked Witch of the West taught us.
Ah, I loved that movie!  Frank Baum did an amazing job on that children's novel.
You know, as much as I'm someone who loves reading and has a degree in literature, that's a book I can't say I've actually read. :(
