I was told years ago the reason for a daffodil is because it is a spring flower that most people would know. Spring to signify new life which is what cancer patients would have with a cure for the disease. Don't know if that is the official reason, but thought it was a nice thought anyway.

Marie Curie Cancer Care adopted the daffodil emblem in 1986 - the flower is universally recognised as a symbol of renewal. The daffodil is also the emblem of leading cancer charities in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the Irish Republic
