Best Answer

Daffodils originated in Spain and Portugal, but very early they were found all along the Mediterrean and into the Middle East. It is believed that it was Roman soldiers, those who had been based in Roman Spain most likely, who introduced the plant to the British Isles in the early Christian era. The Romans believed that the sap had curative properties. We now know that the entire daffodil plant is toxic to humans and many other animals.
