A Cacophony of Daffodils


(I'm late posting this so lets just pretend its April 21st cause that's the date on the picture)

Spring is Here! Imagine my delight when I walked down the old familiar path to our "hidden" back garden to be greeted with this abundance of daffodils! I'd forgotten how much I planted.. or maybe they just have been breeding under the earth these long months...

Anyways I was never such a big fan of daffodils, I thought they were beautiful of course but always took a back seat to the more glamorous (in my opinion) tulip... but no more! I'm sold on their elegance and simplicity. Sure some guy may not have sold his brewery for a single bulb several hundred years ago, but there's something to be said about the pure yellows and whites of this flower siting atop the most elegant garlic-like, rich green leaves in early spring, such a welcome sight after 8 months of brown dirt and bleak snow!
