Daffodil

Design and Instructions by Inez Vasquez

Spring has sprung and we’ve got a little build to welcome the season!

Daffodils belong to the genus Narcissus and are characterized as perennial bulbs with conspicuous flowers. The central cup-like corona is surrounded by six petals with flower colors ranging from white, yellow, orange, and even pink. The central piece for this build is the 2x2 flower open stud (part number 4728) from all the way back in the 1980s, which forms the core for the flower. Yes, we used a flower to build another flower! The petals and corona may also be customized using various colors. Daffodils are the birth flower of March, symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings. After months of snow and gray skies, the daffodil’s bright and cheery flowers signal the changing of seasons. We hope you’ll build one or two of these daffodils to celebrate Spring!
