Whilst the Daffodil is the national flower the Leek (vegetable ) is the recorded emblem. The leek was worn by the Welsh Archers on the orders of St David who advised the Welsh, on the eve of battle with the Saxons, to wear leeks in their caps to distinguish friend from foe. As Shakespeare records in Henry V, the Welsh archers wore leeks at the battle of Agincourt in 1415. The Daffodil is later addopted because In Welsh, the daffodil is known as "Peter's Leek", cenhinen Bedr.
