[Verginius Rufus]

Because of your post I checked, and "daffodil" is not connected with St. David other than sounding somewhat similar. The English word "daffodil" ultimately derives from the Greek asphodelos, "asphodel."

I recall reading somewhere that Thomas Jefferson considered himself to be of Welsh descent, based on a family tradition.

True to the extent that there is no direct connection between St David and the daffodil. However according to this webaite ( and several others)... Flowers and plants assoc.

"Trivia: Facts: Narcissi are mainly cultivated in the Channel Isles, the Isles of Scilly, Great Britain and Holland. The daffodil is the emblem of Wales and is worn on St David's Day." So I always interchange March 1st as St Davids' Day or Dafodil Day. I believe there are several other days in March are called daffodil day, especially in the land of OZ or somewhere else "downunder"
