Notes
Wild Daffodil Wood, at Castle Upon Alun near Bridgend Glamorganshire Coed y Bwl Wood One of the biggest displays of Welsh daffodils.
National Botanic Gardens of Wales Carmarthenshire Garden of Wales  
Dingle Nature Reserve Anglesey Nant y Pandy It's ancient woodland has a display of wild daffodils during the spring, particularly in an area behind the church.

 

The Daffodil is the National Emblem of Wales. It became the emblem of Wales when the Victorians decided to pin a daffodil in their button holes on St David's Day instead of the traditional leek. The tradition goes that the Victorian females did not like the perfume that was given off by the Leek and wanted something more floral, the daffodil was chosen as it signified the start of spring and the lambing season.

There are two daffodil varieties unique to Wales, the Tenby, with a small orange flower and unsurprisingly common in fields surrounding Tenby. The other variety is the Welsh, a delicate flower of an orange trumpet with yellow petals.
