It is Daffodil season and clearly these are popular flowers with the few homeowners who garden, bringing bright flashes of yellow to welcome spring (This being said, only about 5%, 4 out of 80 among the houses I've been riding by, actually have any Daffodils or bother to take care of their gardens).
My best picture so far this year, right beside the front door.
I like the split rail fence framework for these flowers.
A nice bunch in front of a big boulder.
A bunch in a front garden space that could use a bit more care - but the Daffodils keep blooming!
A wonderful thick bunch in front of an older home.
Backlit Daffodils, or strictly speaking frontlit Daffodils photographed from behind, looking out my bedroom window in the early morning sun.
The nicest patch of new blooms in our back yard.
Very nice! Such a lovely, sunny color to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, at our other home, we had hundreds of daffs planted by the previous owner. One day I picked then counted 1000 stems!!! Down here the bulbs are in amazing colours in the stores, so tempting.Golden brightness to herald in your spring.
ReplyDeleteThese are such cheerful flowers to start springtime with! Boom. Bright yellow!
ReplyDeleteI who love flowers so dearly find it incredible that people put so little effort into planting bulbs/flowers.
ReplyDeleteI have one or two small clumps and that is what we returned home to today.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those without daffodils.
ReplyDeleteThey always brighten up the scene. I didn't manage to get to Thriplow this year - a village which has daffodils everywhere you look. In the UK everyone who has a space worthy of being called a garden has a show of daffs.
ReplyDeleteFences and walls make good settings, and I like the penultimate photo where they flowers lie in a bit of an arc.
ReplyDeleteLove that second photo!
ReplyDeleteI love these bright and cheerful signs of spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how Spring has already rolled past the Crocus flowers and landed us right into these daffodil days. For me, I think it is the daffodils that really affirms Spring is alive and well. So great to see them, even out in the countryside growing wild along the road and at the edges of forests.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the daffodils bringing in spring.
ReplyDeleteSunny yellow! I need to plant more bulbs up here.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are one of our favorite spring flowers and they seem to reproduce prolifically. Out in the woods are a number of old house sites with nothing but a cellar hole and a few daffodils that still continue to bloom each spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the cheery daffodils, great pictures.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
