Another name for Daffodil is Narcissus which derived its name from Greek mythology. The story goes that the young man, Narcissus, lost awareness of himself and fell in love with his reflection in the waters of a spring and pined away for it, which, of course, was not real. The flower that grew up in the spot where he died was named after him. Narcissism--"a mental disorder characterized by extreme self-absorption"--is another word that comes from this mythological story.
