Could be titled “Daffy Duck” but it’s a goose, originally uploaded by laujhil.

Photographer laujhil tells us about this March 22, 2010 image: It was taken in Regents Park, London, UK. I’m not an expert on flowers so I can’t tell you much about the daffodils except that we have had such a cold winter that they are late blooming this year. The geese were eating them so I guess they appreciated them as well.

Photographer Zoe (HPAD) tells us about this March 5, 2010 image: The photo was taken in Wye which is a village in Kent in the UK. I don’t know a lot about the daffodils themselves as they are in a garden that I pass on the way to the doctors. I spotted these daffodils trying to emerge last week, they have sprouted quite a bit since then. The light was low and shiny behind them, bokeh heaven! I took the photo to cheer myself up as there was a lovely light behind the daffodils and they evoke such a lovely image of spring finally coming.

Zoe, this cheers us all up, thanks for sharing.

For St David’s Day, originally uploaded by JuliaC2006.

Photographer JuliaC2006 tells us about this St. David’s Day image taken on March 1, 2010: I’m doing a photo a day diary project this year, and as today is St David’s Day, I thought it would be nice to try and find some daffodils. It was a beautiful sunny day, so I went for a walk in St James Park, London near where I work. I saw lots of snowdrops and purple crocus flowering. The daffodils were mostly still just buds though, although the one I chose to photograph did show a tiny amount of yellow. As I said in my caption, I’m sure they will be flowering in a couple of days.

JuliaC2006 wrote to us on March 19 to say: Just to follow up, you might be interested in the photo I took today in St James’ Park www.flickr.com/photos/juliac2006/4445481109/ – absolutely thousands in flower now – I just wish the sun had been shining.

What a difference in two weeks!

Field of Daffodils 2, originally uploaded by Tim’sSeaGlimpses.

Photographer Tim’sSeaGlimpses tells us about this February 14, 2010 image: The far west of Cornwall has many tiny daffodil meadows/fields, many hidden away from roads. With a careful choice of varieties in our comparatively mild climate (compared to the rest of the UK) the season can run from mid-Dec to March.

The comment on the flickr page: Daffodils brighten up a grey February morning, but these flowers have already opened too far for picking to send to market.

You can see additional images of these fields and elsewhere on Tim’sSeaGlimpses Daffodils set.

Daffodil fields, originally uploaded by caz_greig.

The daffodil fields in this photo have a long and rich history, as explained by photographer caz greig: It was taken on Brownsea Island, Poole Harbour, Dorset, UK last Saturday 9th January at 9.39am on the appropriately named daffodil field during our recent cold spell (well, cold for England, that is). Back in the 1920’s daffodils were cultivated on Brownsea Island for shipment to London and it was a prosperous industry. The ridges you can see came about because the soil is rather poor so in order to give the bulbs a reasonable growth medium the soil was piled up into ridges into which the bulbs were placed. Daffodils still grow around the island but are much reduced and eaten by the Sika deer and rabbits though it is still very colourful and attractive in springtime. Brownsea Island is owned by the National Trust and you can get more info from their website. Also, there is an informative book Brownsea Islander by Jack Battrick ISBN 0 7137 0990 1.
