Daffodil Sprouts, originally uploaded by Noah Eggensperger Photography.

Photographer Noah Eggensperger tells us about this December 29, 2009 image taken in Cabot, Arkansas: I took the picture this evening, while out to find any good picture finds I could. Usually, these daffodils start to sprout around February. My mom planted these to grow around the beginning of February, because my birthday is on the 6th.

We think this is a nice idea for a birthday observance – a good present from Mom!

Photographer redlockschic tells us about this March 7, 2009 image: This was taken in Camden, AR at the yearly Camden Daffodil Festival. There are several garden tours to view at this Festival. I was touring Daniel’s Garden and made this photo. People come from places near and far to this Festival because of the many different varieties and numerous daffodils throughout the town and gardens.

Here’s the Daffodil Festivals and Fields listing for the Camden Daffodil Festival.

Photographer oshngrl tells us about this February 21, 2009 image: This picture was taken at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas in March 2009. I don’t know enough about daffodils to tell you what kind they are, but I thought they were beautiful!

Photographer windybug tells us about this March 9, 2009 image from Wye Mountain: This picture is from Wye, Arkansas, which is about 40 miles outside of Little Rock. It is at a Methodist Church there. They have a daffodil festival every year. (The festival was the past weekend, but I took these pictures a few weeks ago.) I know the festival been going on for at least ten years. Here is their site.

This place is so surreal to me. I tend to have imagery stick with me, and I actually had dreams about this place after visiting the first time. I made sure to take pictures of the cross and tree that highlight many dreams for me! It is very David Lynch to me for some reason…

Woodland Daffodils, originally uploaded by Jim-AR.

This February 13 photo is posted on Photographer Jim-AR‘s photostream with the following detail: Daffodils growing in a woodland area.. Did they escape from their beds and are encroaching in the woodland area… or was there an old homesite here at one time?

Jim-Ar tells us: These daffodils occur in a woodland area behind my house in Monticello, AR which is in the southeastern part of the State.  [The first flower] opened on February 7 which happened to be my birthday… All the beds are in full bloom now and are just beautiful… I have brought several large bouquets indoors for the dining room table and bedroom..
