Daffodil - نرجس This flower is from the Narcissus species. In greek mythology, Narcissus was a very handsome hunter. He fell in love with his own beauty while looking into the river's reflection. There are many endings to the myth but they all have the same idea all that's left of him are narcissus flowers. 👀 How does this myth relate to Lebanon? Well it doesn't haha. The flower however is abundant in southern Europe, North Africa and the Western Mediterranean. Its colors bright up the greenery in different spots since it is never alone. It grows as a wild or cultivated plant, though seems like some of Narcissus species have now become extinct 😕. Fun fact: Did you know the little bell shaped part of the flower is called Corona? It comes in different sizes: some are little bowl-shaped and others look like huge spot lights! • 🌱 I did a research last year on the different flowers we see in Lebanon during Spring and sketched them to do a personal project with them. Didn't have time to work on making them look cool and digital back then. But now that we are all in quarantine, it's the perfect time! • ➡️ Swipe to see the sketch of the flower from my research last year. • #flowerresearch #flowers #spring2020 #flowerlovers #flowergram #flowerpower #illustration #digitaldrawings #digitalart #sketchingnature #sketching #drawing #pollen #goldenflower #naturelovers #localflowers #narcissus #daffodil #digitalillustration #stayathome #womenwhoillustrate #covidartclub #greekmythology (at Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_J3IP8ptXZ/?igshid=1jp5dq0xloq1
