Why does the cancer research logo have a picture of daffodil?

The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for those affected by cancer. The American Cancer Society adopted the daffodil as its official symbol in 1957. The daffodil was chosen because it is one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, a time of renewal and hope. The daffodil also represents rebirth and new beginnings, which are themes that are often associated with cancer survivorship.

In addition to its symbolism, the daffodil is also a beautiful and hardy flower. It can grow in a variety of climates and conditions, and it is often used in landscaping and gardening. The daffodil's resilience and ability to thrive in difficult conditions make it an appropriate symbol for cancer survivors, who often demonstrate great strength and courage in the face of adversity.

The daffodil is a reminder that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times. It is a symbol of the strength and resilience of cancer survivors, and it is a source of inspiration for all those who are affected by cancer.
