Photographer Laura Nolte tells us about this March 23, 2011 image: The daffodils at Kew are in full bloom now, there’s a stunning carpet on the Broad Walk; but not just there, they’re growing everywhere around the gardens.

Magnolia Trees and Daffodils at Kew Gardens, originally uploaded by Laura Nolte.
Photographer Laura Nolte tells us about this March 23, 2011 image: The daffodils at Kew are in full bloom now, there’s a stunning carpet on the Broad Walk; but not just there, they’re growing everywhere around the gardens. The area around the magnolia trees is my favourite part of the gardens at the moment–the colours of the cream and pink magnolias and the yellow daffodils look so pretty together. It’s a very lovely spot.

Photographer JamesDavid2007 tells us about this March 18, 2011 image: The photo was taken in Hyde Park in London, in the evening after a day of rain, when the sun was slipping down through the area of sky between the clouds and the horizon. The daffodils in central London are ahead of those in the suburbs and those in Hyde Park were looking particularly splendid in the evening sun.
The photo was taken with the camera on a monopod held high above my head, on a ten second timer, pointing in the direction of the bike and hoping the framing came out OK.
The bike is a Pedersen, designed about 120 years ago by a Dane, Mikael Pedersen.
The City – Empty, originally uploaded by SamKirk9.
Photographer SamKirk9 tells us about this March 20, 2011 image: The picture was taken in the Square Mile, City of London. I was on a photography tour and just liked the double yellow lines curving slightly on an empty city street. It was a Sunday and usually this street would be very busy with city workers. The daffodils just added something and brought the two yellows together. I usually take nature pics so this one was a bit of a departure from my usual style.
2652 More daffodils, originally uploaded by andy linden.
Photographer Andy Linden tells us about this March 16, 2011 image: The photo was taken in the same place as the photos in your previous blogs from 2008 and 2009. It was taken in Greenwich, London, next to the O2 indoor arena, which is the largest indoor concert venue in the UK and will be used as one of the venues for the 2012 Olympic Games. The trees and daffodils were planted when the O2 was built in 1999, as part of an overhaul of the land around it. This winter was harsh in London, so the daffodils are out late this year, as opposed to 2008, when they came out in February.
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.
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!
