Friday's Flower.

You should always present daffodils in a bunch. Legend has it that daffodils are associated with cheerfulness. When they are presented to someone as a bunch, it is meant to provide happiness. However, if they are only given as a single flower, it is meant to mean misfortune. Daffodils are said to symbolise friendship but also new beginnings. They are one of the first signs of Spring, although this is early, even for them.
