Narcissus pseudonarcissus (commonly known as wild daffodil or Lent lily) is a perennial flowering plant.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

This species has pale yellow flowers, with a darker central trumpet. The long, narrow leaves are slightly greyish in colour and rise from the base of the stem. The plant typically grows from a bulb, however, the plants also produces seeds, which when germinated, takes five to seven years to produce a flowering plant. Sexual (seed) reproduction mixes the traits of both parent flowers, producing new varieties.
The species is native to Western Europe from Spain and Portugal east to Germany and north to England and Wales. It is commonly grown in gardens and populations have become established in the Balkans, Australia, New Zealand, the Caucasus, Madeira, British Columbia, Ontario, Newfoundland, Oregon, Washington State, much of eastern United States, and the Falkland Islands. Wild plants grow in woods, grassland and on rocky ground. In Britain native populations have decreased substantially since the 19th century due to intensification of agriculture, clearance of woodland and uprooting of the bulbs for use in gardens. In Germany it was a subject of a national awareness campaign for the protection of wildflowers in 1981.

In England, in the North York Moors National Park, the Farndale valley hosts a large population of the species, along the banks of the River Dove.

In England, in Gloucestershire, there are several nature reserves supporting large populations of the species near Dymock Woods SSSI. There is a Daffodil Walk Trail around several reserves in the spring
Like all Narcissus species, daffodils contain the alkaloid poison lycorine, mostly in the bulb, but also in the leaves.[11][12] Because of this, daffodil bulbs and leaves should never be eaten.
