17.04.2026 - 08.05.2026 A collection of daffodils is beginning to bloom in the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Daffodils are a popular perennial bulbous plant. These flowers prefer sunny and open places, but can successfully withstand partial shade. Daffodils bloom in April-May. Interesting facts... Daffodils have become an integral part of perfumery since the early days of this art, but now the natural oils of these flowers have almost completely replaced synthetic analogues. There are up to 13 thousand hybrids of daffodils on the planet and only 54 primary species. Daffodil juice is harmful to other plants, so before adding them to a bouquet, florists keep the flowers in water for 24 hours. Because of the poisonous juice, animals practically do not eat daffodils. In China, daffodils are an integral part of the New Year celebration and are considered a guarantee of future happiness.
