Daffodils. Daffodils symbolize renewal, inner growth, friendship, and spiritual reflection. Daffodils are often given as a sign of sincere friendship.

Historically, the daffodil refers to the Greek mythological story of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, which symbolizes a warning against vanity and self-obsession.
