Marie Curie Statue, originally uploaded by Alan Whyte.

Photographer Alan Whyte tells us about this February 3, 2010 image: This image was taken in Callander Park in Falkirk,Scotland,UK. I was told by a friend it was a work of art that had been created for the Marie Curie Trust [although] i can’t confirm that this is the case. However it is meant to represent an opening daffodil.

Editor’s Note: The Great Daffodil Appeal in the UK 2010 has begun. This is a drive to raise funds and support for the Marie Curie Cancer Care programs. Here is information about this year’s efforts including a YouTube video “Give Us an Hour”.

Photographer ginnerobot‘s February 7, 2009 photograph gives us a good opportunity to publicize the U.S., Canadian, and U.K. daffodil fundraisers for cancer care, prevention, and research. Here is ginnerobot’s comment on her flickr post: It’s funny I saw this flower when I was out because I have just recently started working on the Daffodil Days campaign at work. It benefits the American Cancer Society, so see if there is a location participating near you :)

ginnerobot tells us: The picture was taken at Trax Farms in Finleyville, Pennsylvania. There aren’t any flowers blooming around here yet, so the best chance I had to see flowers was to visit the farm and see the flowers grown in their greenhouse.
