Daffodil shoots in the snow, originally uploaded by philmciver.
Photographer philmciver tells us about this snowy February 21, 2010 image: It was taken in my garden in Loughborough, which is in the county of Leicestershire, after an overnight snow fall of about three inches. The image was taken using a 100mm macro lens.
Photographer pinkjay tells us about this February 21, 2020 image: It is a shot of a tub of dwarf daffodils in my back garden after more snow during the night. You can see the snow melting on the end of the bud that is opening up. We have experienced more snow than normal over the past few months.
It was taken in Newtownabbey, (near Belfast), Northern Ireland, UK.

Photographer iofdi tells us about this February 19, 2010 image: This photo was taken in Milan, Ohio. These are the first of my Narcissus daffodils to bloom. They are totally bright yellow. There is a photo here farm4.static.flickr.com/3560/3367223882_28f674494f_b.jpg of them in bloom. They were in full bloom March 18 last year.
Here is a link to the image larger on white, courtesy of iofdi. Impressive.
Waiting patiently…, originally uploaded by jvas90.
Photographer jvas90 tells us about this image: It was taken last Saturday Feb. 13, 2010 on the Berry College campus in Rome, GA. We usually see the daffodils bloom here in Georgia around the first couple of weeks in February.. sometimes as early as the last week in January. This winter however has been colder than normal for us.. I am hoping to go for a walk today and see if any of them have bloomed.
Is Spring Really Around the Corner?, originally uploaded by Sienna62.
Photographer Sienna62 tells us about this wintry image taken on February 11, 2010: This was taken in Keller, Texas in my front yard after a historic snow fall. We don’t usually get much snow around here, and when we do it is usually an inch or less. We got over a foot of snow during this storm. I went outside to take pictures of snow and was shocked to find these daffodils blooming in the snow!
Not yet! Not yet!, originally uploaded by A. Drauglis Furnituremaker.
Photographer and furniture designer A. Drauglis Furnituremaker tells us about this snowy February 5, 2010 photo: It was taken in my garden in northeast Washington DC last week. I redug and replanted that section of the yard and garden this past fall for the first time in 8 years. I noticed them poking up just as a blizzard was about to hit, hence the title “not yet! Not yet!”
They are some Division 1,2,or 3 daffodil, that is about as specific as I can get.
Daffodils in the snow, Washington, D.C., outside the National Air & Space Museum, originally uploaded by xoxoxoe.
Photographer xoxoxoe tells us about this wintry February 1, 2010 photograph: It was taken outside the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC after our first big snowstorm. We just had a February blizzard, so I haven’t had a chance to get back since the storm and see how they’re faring.
We’ll watch for the daffodils once the snow melts in D.C.
For more snow photos and commentary, here is xoxoxoe’s witty blog.
Photographer brightcloud tells us about this January 11, 2010 image: These daffodil sprouts resiliently appear year after year in my garden in Eyemouth. Eyemouth is a small fishing town on the south-east coast of Scotland. Because it meets the North Sea, not much snow lies here – but this winter was quite different. Several days of intermittent snowfall resulted in a white cover about 10″ deep. Any low-lying plants and sprouts were completely hidden from sight for several days. Nevertheless, those hardy daffodil sprouts emerged unscathed [as the thaw continued], standing green and proud.
Daffodil 4, originally uploaded by Callum J Cairns.
Photographer Callum J. Cairns tells us about this January 10, 2010 snowy image: It was taken in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the very end of my parents’ garden. It stands alone currently, sheltering underneath a rather skeletal looking shrub and is emerging above leaf litter. As we had recently had heavy snowfall, (well, for us!) the snow was lying beautifully, with maybe just the beginnings of melt.
15 januari., originally uploaded by ~irene~.
Photographer ~irene~ writes to us about this January 15, 2010 photo: The picture is taken in Amsterdam on the Valeriusplein (square) in the old south part of the city, near the Vondelpark. It’s a beautiful neighbourhood. I made this picture on my lunchbreak. I make a daily picture for my Flickr page and suddenly my eyes caught the tips of these daffodils in the snow. There’s been heavy snow for weeks now and they made me feel all optimistic and happy.
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.
Manchester 9th Jan 2010, originally uploaded by whalleyranger.
Photographer whalleyranger tells us: It was taken on the 9th Jan in the city of Manchester in the North West of England. I live in the south of the city, and we have had the longest cold spell and levels of snow for over 30 years.
The dafs are planted in a bed that forms the front wall of a block of flats along with evergreen shrubs. I’m sorry but I don’t know which type of daf it is but it sure made an yellow impact amongst the white snow.
P1020609, originally uploaded by gembarrett.
Photographer gembarrett tells us about this wintry spring photo: I took this photograph yesterday (6th January 2010) in Godshill on the Isle of Wight (UK). After very heavy snowfall (a rare event on the Island) I walked around my local area to take some photos. I found this early daffodil growing alone on the bank next to the thatch cottages by Godshill Church. The bright yellow and green contrasted with the white of the snow surrounding it and I just had to take a photo of this lone daffodil braving the snow.
We think gembarrett uses the perfect term expression for this photograph: braving the snow. Here is a companion image, a closeup of the daffodil.

Photographer pentrepinged tells us these daffodils and friend were seen on the road leading to Kidwelly, South Wales.
The photo was taken on January 6, 2010.
snowy daffodils, originally uploaded by amlacey.
We’re still knee deep in taxes paperwork, but have a few photos in process so we’ll post them as they come in.
We want to post a pretty snow photo since it just snowed yesterday on Daffodil Hill in Northern California. This photo is from Kansas City, Missouri, at the end of last month.
Photographer amlacey tells us: It was taken in my front yard in Kansas City, MO on February 28th. I don’t know anything about the particular variety of daffodil, the previous owners of my house planted them years ago, but they came up about three weeks early this year.
The Daffodils are coming!, originally uploaded by StroudFoto.
Photographer StroudFoto tells us about this March 2, 2009 photo: It’s taken in a little town in North Carolina called Mocksville. I loved the perspective of the Snow Vs. the Spring Daffodils.
StroudFoto wrote on the flickr post: You can’t stop the determined!
We know the snow is long-gone now – perhaps this is the last snow photo of the 2009 season?
snow and daffodils, originally uploaded by maryfreeman.
Photographer maryfreeman tells us about this March 1, 2009 image: I live in Woodstock, GA in a very old house (160 yrs) These daffodils come up here beginning sometime in February, I am amazed they last through some cold days and nights. They are abundant around my house, I could not tell you how long they have been around, they just seem to multiply with each new year.
3-2-09 – Park daffodils and snow, originally uploaded by jennymunro.
Photographer jennymunro tells us about this image: I took the picture in Falls Park in downtown Greenville, S.C. The park is built around the Reedy River and the falls, which are just yards off Main Street. The daffodils have been out for a couple of weeks. Then last week, we had snow on March 1. I took this picture on March 2, the next day, when the snow had melted some.
All I know about the daffodils is that they are planted by the city of Greenville, which operates the park. And they are always one of the first harbingers of spring for me. Since I work just a block from the park, I watch the flowers come and go.
Spring and winter – daffodils and snow. That’s what happens when seasons are about to change. And it happens often in the Southeast. Winter often doesn’t really show up until March or so.
Hanging its head, originally uploaded by froglover.1979.
Photographer froglover.1979 tells us this about this snow and daffodils photo: Taken in Anderson, SC USA. These daffodils have been blooming in my front yard for several years. On this day, March 1, we had a snow storm. These are quite rare in the south. We got 6 inches of snow in about a 15 hour period. My daffodils were quite droopy from the wet snow. Can’t tell you much about the variety.
Winter on the outside, spring on the inside, originally uploaded by Sally Kamille.
Photographer Sally Kamille tells us about this February 16, 2009 image: The photo is taken in Copenhagen, Denmark on a very snowy day. And I thought the daffodils would brighten the day up a bit. My mom bought them for a dollar in a super market.
Daffodils in the snow, originally uploaded by Salmon Leap.
Photographer Salmon Leap tells us this photo was taken along the banks of the Rye River, Leixlip, Co Kildare.
This unusual photo with daffodils, snow, and water was taken on February 8, 2009.
[used by permission]
The photographer says: I took “Daffodil and snow, Cornwall” on Monday 2nd Feb, near the village of St Buryan in Cornwall, whilst out walking with my father. Daffodils are cultivated in the fields there. It is quite rare for there to be significant snow fall in that part of Cornwall, so the scenery was particularly unusual.
spring hope, originally uploaded by Jemstone33.
This photo, named “Spring Hope”, was taken by photographer Jemstone33, who tells us: I don’t know what kind of daffs they are, but are probably native as we have them all over here in the UK. It was taken on Feb 6th 2009 during our big snowfall last week. Location is Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England.
Daffodil in snow, originally uploaded by oakjane.
This otherworldly photo titled “Daffodil in Snow” was taken on February 3, 2008. Photographer oakjane tells us: It was taken in my neighbour’s garden in Ledbury, Herefordshire, England. The image reminds me Spring is on its way. It feels very hopeful and positive – new life pushing through the snow. I got pretty wet lying in the snow to take it but it was worth it!
I walked round the same garden today 3 days later – the snow and the magic has gone. If I hadn’t been taking photos I’d have walked straight on by. Taking close ups of flowers is a gateway to another world – right on my doorstep – beauty at my feet, if only I stop and see.
Snow Dropped, originally uploaded by Owled.
This very cool (cold!) photo with the clever title “Snow Dropped” was taken on February 5, 2009. The photographer Owled tells us: The picture was taken in Malvern, Worcestershire UK, near the Malvern Hills. The daffodils are of general cultivation, probably from Division 1 – trumpet Narcissi.
