Climate change?, originally uploaded by Peter Denton.
This December 19, 2009 photo in West London receives the honor of the “First Daffodil of 2010″. Our blog is now officially opened for the 2010 season.
The photographer, Peter Denton, comments: 19 December 2009: On the day the world climate change summit fails amid acrimony and recrimination, a lone daffodil appears in Teddington, west London – way ahead of its time.
Peter adds: I’ve never seen a daffodil in full flower so early; here, they’re normally associated with spring, so I suppose late February onwards.
Note from the editor: If you are hoping to see daffodils this spring, take a look at our resource listings of Daffodil Festivals, Fields, and Gardens here.
