Dear Hans you may have another name for it, but when you read this you might also get a bit confused??
I tried to make a (free) translation of it in English.

En die ander dag die eerste blom wat ek nóg geplant het: 'n narsing!
Ook bekend as narcissus. Die plant word dus geassosieër met dié Griekse mite, al is dit nie vernoem na die mooi jonkman wat danksy Nemesis op sy eie spieëlbeeld verlief geraak het nie.
Die stamwoord is narkao, wat beteken "om te verdoof." Soos in narkose. Die rede: die bolle, blare en selfs blomme is dikwels giftig, byvoorbeeld dié van die affodil. (Die digtersnarsing is volgens botaniste nóg dodeliker)

Yesterday I planted the first flower:'n narsing!
Also known as narcissus This plant is associated with the Greek mythe, though it is not named after
the nice younger who thanks to Nemesis fell in love in his own face in the mirror.
The 'stam word"is narkao , which means : to anaesthesize. So in narcose.
Caused by: the bulbs, leaves and even the flowers are often poisonous, like those of the "affodil"
The Poets narsing is after botanists more deadly.

I may not get the points but I earned the BONUS, don't I?  ;)
