What are Jonquils?
Jonquils are flowering bulbs in the Amaryllis family. They are closely related to daffodils, and in some parts of the world, people may refer generically to all daffodils as jonquils, although this usage is not appreciated by professional horticultural organizations. Many people are fond of jonquils because they are typically among the first flowers to bloom in the spring, and they have a rich aroma which can enhance a garden. These sprightly flowers also have a simple but beautiful appearance which makes them quite versatile for use in all kinds of gardens.
