The story behind it
This festival honors the rare alpine flower (Narcissus poeticus) that covers the meadows around Turnu Ruieni each spring, a phenomenon tied to legend (linked to Ovid’s exile story) and local identity. It fosters pride in the region’s natural reserve and multilingual folk traditions (Romanian, Hungarian, German influences).
