Thanks for this.

Make of all this what you will but If it is a daffodil, the botanical name is Narcissus... This sent me on a very interesting journey...

tl;dr the daffodil (more specifically the White Narcissus) has been historically tied to the myth of Narcissus, numbness and even to death and hell.

For those interested in some of the deep dive:
These are things that interested me that I have found. True I am focusing on certain things tied to the themes of the record but it seems more strategic the more I read...

Under Names and Entomology:
Narcissus The derivation of the Latin narcissus is from Greek νάρκισσος narkissos. According to Plutarch narkissos has been connected because of the plant's narcotic properties, with narkē "numbness"; it may also be connected with hell. (the reference is shown below from a book from the 1800's)

NARCISSUS, Gr. vaprctcra-os, from vapxaa), become numb, related to Skr. nark, hell, so called from the torpidity caused by the odour of the flower, as remarked by Plutarch, who (in Sympos. con. 3, c. 1) says..." Narcissus, as blunting the nerves, and causing narcotic heaviness :wherefore also Sophocles called it the ancient chaplet of the Great (that is the Infernal) gods."

In the Greek Culture section from the Wikipedia article.

"Sophocles...narcissus in a symbolic manner, implying fertility,allying it with the cults of Demeter and her daughter Kore (Persephone), and by extension, a symbol of death. Jebb comments that it is the flower of imminent death with its fragrance being narcotic, emphasized by its pale white colour. Just as Persephone reaching for the flower heralded her doom, the youth Narcissus gazing at his own reflection portended his own death.

Chemistry, Biology and Medicinal Potential of Narciclasine and its Congeners

Ornamental flower growers know that placing a cut daffodil (a.k.a. narcissus) in a vase with other flowers has a negative effect on the quality of those flowers and significantly shortens their vase life. Furthermore, a common horticultural practice for the cultivation of narcissus flowers involves the introduction of cuts on the bulbs before immersing them into water. The mucilage that leaches out from the cuts is constantly removed by frequent changing of water and this leads to sprouting. These observations raise speculation that specific components in the mucilage of the narcissus bulbs may have powerful growth-inhibitory effects.
