Welsh Emblem

The WELSH NATIONAL EMBLEMS
The DAFFODIL& The LEEK
They share the Welsh name: CENHINEN

 

In comparison with the ancient Welsh associations of the leek,the daffodil has only recently assumed a position of national importance. An increasingly popular flower during the 19th century, especially among women, its status was elevated by the Welsh-born prime minister David Lloyd George, who wore it on St David's Day and used it in ceremonies in 1911 to mark the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarfon
