Daffodil Harvest, originally uploaded by hawgwildterry.
Photographer hawgwildterry tells us about this February 16, 2010 image: The photo was taken in what is known as the Skagit Valley which is located in Skagit County, Washington. The location of the valley is west of the town of Mt. Vernon.
This area is a large daffodil and tulip growing area and features a yearly Tulip Festival which I will provide a link to for this year.

The location of this shot was 17949 Beaver Marsh Road, Mt. Vernon WA 98273. If you have Microsoft Streets and Trips or any other mapping program you see the location. Better yet, if you have Google Earth you can see the satellite photo of the area and see the valley and all the farms.
For more information on the photo you can click on the link located on the right side of the photo page ‘Additional Information’ and then the ‘More Properties’ link.
Addendum on February 22, 2010: Wife and I went up again yesterday and the daffodils are really starting to show their color. Irises are getting close and the tulips are about 6″ out of the ground. We still have a chance of a March cold snap and snow. Could get interesting around the valley if that happens.
More harvesting photos are posted on hawkwildterry’s photostream.

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’ll watch for the daffodils once the snow melts in D.C.

More daffodils, originally uploaded by wendyb1214.
This is a cool Skagit photo. Photographer wendyb1214 tells us: This was taken in Mount Vernon, Washington – an area of Washington state known as the Skagit Valley. There are many farms here growing both flowers – daffodils, tulips, and iris – and vegetables. Each spring, the area bursts into colorful bloom, it’s really magical. Unfortunately, i don’t know anything about the daffodils themselves. Oh, and the photo was taken on April 14, 2009.
Here is the Skagit Valley page on daffodilfestivals.com.
getting a little perspective, originally uploaded by t-squared.
Photographer t-squared tells us about this April 19, 2009 image: I took the photo last Sunday in the Skagit Valley north of Seattle. We were there for the tulips (Skagit Valley Tulip Festival) but were drawn to this lovely field of daffodils. I also try to do something beyond the cliche so I dropped my camera down to water level in the row between the flowers. It was a great day.
For additional perspective on things besides daffodils, here is t-squared’s imagekind gallery.

Skagit Valley Daffodils, originally uploaded by Ron Hanko.
Photographer Ron Hanko tells us about this cool Skagit Valley image taken on April 3, 2009: The photo was taken near Mount Vernon, Washington (it is geotagged). Near Mount Vernon there are extensive fields of tulips and daffodils that are grown commercially mainly for the spring bulb market, although there is also a large cut flower market for daffodils. The daffodils themselves are primarily the plain yellow variety and later the multiflowered “narcissus” type.
Ron has created a set of photos called “Skagit Valley Tulips” here.
Yellow & White Daffodils, originally uploaded by hawgwildterry.
This lovely photograph was taken on April 4, 2009 by photographer hawgwildterry, who tells us: They were taken in Mt. Vernon, Washington along Memorial Highway in Skagit County. This is the time of year for the annual Tulip Festival and the Daffodils are the first to show. The reason for the Tulip Festival is that there is a very large Dutch community that settled the area.

soon I will be something beautiful, originally uploaded by A Girl And Her Camera.
We so love the title of this February 8, 2009 photo “soon I will be something beautiful”. The photographer A Girl And Her Camera tells us: It was taken in Seattle, WA, down by the Seattle waterfront. That is by the piers, right next to the Seattle Aquarium. There is a park there, called the waterfront park. and I knew these were going to be daffodils, because I took a picture of them last year when they were in bloom.
We wrote to the photographer Lecia /A Day That is Dessert to ask about this graceful daffodil: The photo was taken in my home in Seattle, WA. I have a pot of bulbs I bought from Hearthsong; this is the first of the bulbs to start to bloom.
This photo was taken on January 25, 2009
daffodils, originally uploaded by Jessamyn T.
This January 16, 2009 photo originally appeared on Jessamyn’s garden blog, Jessamyn’s Garden. Jessamyn tells us: The photo was taken in my small urban garden in Mount Vernon, WA, with a macro lens, and the daffodils appear to be some King Alfred type, but I’m not sure of the variety because they came with the house. They’re very tall and sturdy when they bloom.
Thinking of spring, originally uploaded by Culinary Fool.
We wondered if this photograph really was taken in snowy Seattle on January 4. The photographer Culinary Fool explains: Yes I just took the photo today. But they are not outside but bulbs in pots. 
We think her flickr post is all we need to know about this winter season in Seattle: Close your eyes and dream of spring. No that is not more snow falling outside. No it is not!
I guess this will chill the daffodil bulbs, originally uploaded by PittiSing
