0:00.0 | You can find more information, photos and advice sheets on all the plants and recipes that we talk about in this podcast by heading to the links in the show notes or on our website at sarahavin.com. Welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange with me, Arthur Parkinson and Sarah Raven. In this episode, |
0:24.8 | we're talking about Narcissai and Purple Sprouting Broccoli. So of course, now is exactly the time |
0:36.9 | for Narcissi. And I often get asked this question. Do you, Arthur, what's the difference between a narcissus and a daffodil? |
0:44.4 | Yeah, I guess. I don't think there is really. |
0:47.3 | No, I think people get worried, don't they? |
0:50.2 | Yeah. It's just, it's the Latin name for daffodil. So you can use daffodil, but I suppose I tend to think the daffodil is the thing like the lint and lily or, you know, the bright yellow thing that you see kind of at Easter often and a narcissist, I tend to think of a slightly more delicate, I suppose, but basically a's is just a Latin name for a daffatil. |

1:45.7 | lemon, curdy yellow, not rubber duck yellow. I do find it a bit retina irritant when I see |
1:52.9 | avenues of rubber duck yellow daffodils on the side of the road. I mean, they're better than |
1:59.9 | nothing. I'm very pleased that we've got daffodils on the road side, |
2:03.2 | but they're not what I'd describe as beautiful. |
2:06.7 | I find them quite. |
2:07.6 | I find that yellow almost like a danger sign yellow. |
2:11.5 | So I much prefer the species diluted yellow, more cheerful. |
2:15.3 | Yeah, like yellow stripes on the road to tell you to stop parking. |
