Wish all my visititors happy and sunny Easter days !
There are two derivations of the name. One is that of the youth of
Greek mythology called Narcissus, who, in at least one of many
variations of the tale, became so obsessed with his own reflection as
he knelt and gazed into a pool of water that he fell into the water
and drowned. In some variations, he died of starvation and thirst from
sitting by the edge of the pool, transfixed by his own reflection. In
both versions, the Narcissus plant sprang from where he died.
The other derivation is that the plant is named after its narcotic
properties (ναρκάω narkao, "I grow numb" in Greek).

Die Bezeichnung Narzisse leitet sich von dem griechischen Wort νάρκειν narkein ab, welches „betäuben“ bedeutet. Die Dichternarzisse, die auch in Griechenland wächst, strömt tatsächlich einen sehr intensiven und betäubenden Geruch aus. Die Römer übernahmen den griechischen Pflanzennamen als narcissus.
