Cades Cove Daffodils, originally uploaded by Deb Campbell.
Photographer Deb Campbell reports on these new daffodils in East Tennessee: It was taken on 2/26/2009 in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Church in the background is one of 3 still standing in the Cove. It is the Cades Cove Methodist Church. As you drive around the 11 mile loop road in the cove you will see sections of daffodils planted here and there. It is said that where you see these daffodils, a homestead once probably stood there, as the early settlers planted them around their cabins. As you probably know, these daffodils are often called jonquils or buttercups down here in the south.
See the first comment on the flickr page for a photo of daffodils in the same location from 1985.
Oh, and a snow report! We asked if the daffodils are now under snow. Here is the status from yesterday (March 4): There is no snow in the cove right now. I was up toward Gatlinburg earlier today and there was snow but melting quickly as it’s in the 50′s here today and will be 70 by Friday, I think.
Photographer jcbonbon tells us about this February 23, 2009 photo: It was taken outside my front door at about 8 am one frosty morning in Nashville, Tennessee. The previous owner planted these bulbs, so I don’t know what kind of daffodil they are, but it’s a joy to walk out every morning and see their progress!
Of course, there was more than frost this past weekend. We checked with jcbonbon to see how the daffs are doing: I was out of town during the snowstorm, but when I returned, many daffodils had already opened with a bit of a temporary warm-up in the weather. Very pretty!
yellow daffs in the backyard, originally uploaded by livingglassart (falling behind…again).
Photographer livingglassart(falling behind…again) tells us: I took the pic in my backyard. These daffs were established long before we moved here. Its a joy to see them come up every year. Technically, the town is Parsons, TN, but we are on the outskirts of town close to the TN River.
This photo was taken on February 8. Here is what these daffodils look like on February 12.
