At every turn of the head ... Daffodils. Now, I mean these are definitely a great flower, one that symbolizes the beginning of Spring, beating even the tulip to bloom. However, the Brits take these flowers quite seriously. They are EVERYWHERE! Sprouting up randomly in the grass, thousands together in a park, filling the local's window boxes (I also got into the spirit). Often no rhyme or reason to their location, just a universal, unspoken love for them.
They even sell little fabric ones to wear on your lapel similar to the poppy. Not only are they everywhere, but there seems to be a biased, extreme favor for them, as there has been little room for any other bulb, as far as I have seen.
These little guys have made for a quite chipper March, as they all are smiling at you as you walk down the street or ride the bus. They are now starting to fade after a solid six week showing.
I look forward to the surprises that April offers - the Magnolia trees have all just bloomed this week. One thing for certain, they do know how to garden.
Beautiful. I bought a bunch last Sunday. Hoping to see some daffodils on Logan Boulevard this weekend (a few crocuses opened last weekend).
