Wordsworth Daffodil Garden, Grasmere, originally uploaded by byamossygnome.com.

A daffodils blog would not be authentic without a photograph taken at Grasmere. Photographer byamossygnome.com tells us: The picture was taken in the Wordsworth Daffodil Garden in the village of Grasmere in the English Lake District. They are wild daffodils – the sort which inspired Wordsworth’s poem about them after he saw them growing by the shores of Ullswater, a lake just a few miles away. Because Wordsworth lived in Grasmere, and his poem is so famous, many daffodils have now been planted there.
