By the way, such a confusion is not uncommon for those who are trying to get to the bottom of the truth and find out why one or another flower is called that way, and not somehow differently. So, for example, it is still not clear for certain where the name of the Narcissus came from. On the one hand, at first glance, it seems that this plant was named after the young man — the hero of the ancient Greek legend. On the other hand, versed in the history of the word, scientists found out that it came to us from the Persian language and means “freeze” or “roaming”. Remembering the instructive story of the Narcissus, it becomes unclear whether the flower was named in honor of the young man, or the young man in honor of the flower.
