<p>Photographer yorkshire stacked tells us: &#8220;The photo was taken in the later afternoon on 10Feb2012. I live near Kensington Gardens in London and often go there for a photo walk with my beloved Nikon DSLR. On that day, I went there to take photos of leftover snow in the park and the sunset. As soon as I went into the park, I realised there were first daffodils so I decided to include them in the photo too.&#8221;</p>

<p>Photographer <a title="Sout East Cornwall daffodils field" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southdevon/" target="_blank">nickshepherd</a> tells us about this March 23, 2011 image: <em>Daffodils are regularly grown in South east Cornwall and I had watched this field begin to come to life a few weeks before I took the shot. Although the scale and colour of the daffodils is overwhelming, it does not always translate into a good photograph unless some form of focal point is available. Prior to taking the shot, I walked around the field and found some trees sitting on the horizon. With the ingredients in place, I took the shot the next day early in the morning when the light was softer. One thing that is &#8220;lost&#8221; in the shot was the wonderful scent from this particular species of daffodil&#8230;it was almost intoxicating!</em></p>

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. </em></p>
<p><em>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.</em></p>
<p><em>The bike is a Pedersen, designed about 120 years ago by a Dane, Mikael Pedersen.</em></p>

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.</em></p>

<p>Photographer <a title="West Cornwall Daffodils" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cornishcowboy/" target="_blank">Cornish Cowboy</a> tells us about this February 26, 2011 image: <em>Pictured at Cury Cross Lanes on The Lizard Peninsula another field of dancing daffodils in a spring breeze. West Cornwall is a tapestry of yellow at the moment, so many fields seem to be turned over to daffodils, it&#8217;s an amazing sight. Due in part perhaps to the fact that a number of farmers are having to sell unprofitable dairy herds and turn their attentions to more lucrative crops.</em></p>
<p><em>Have you seen <a title="Cornwall field" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cornishcowboy/5526565729/" target="_blank">this Cornwall field</a> &#8211; at Tremough near Penryn Cornwall?</em></p>
