The December flower is the Narcissus.

The Narcissus flower’s name is derived from Greek mythology.

The Narcissus symbolizes

• Faithfulness
• Good Wishes
• Modesty
• Purity
• Respect
• Simplicity
• Sweetness

The Narcissus is often confused with the daffodil, which is a type of Narcissus. Most Narcissus bloom as spring flowers. Several species of Narcissus, though, bloom in the winter such as the Paperwhite Narcissus.

Finding quotes regarding the Narcissus was very challenging. Two that I did find were very similar. One was written by Galen and the other was written by Nazr Mohammed.

Wishing you a beautiful month of December!
