We wrote yesterday to monmouthdailyphoto about this intriguing March 6, 2008 photo, wondering about its story. Here is what we learned about daffodils in central New Jersey:

“The daffodils didn’t actually bloom until yesterday [March 20]–well, ONE daffodil bloomed, and it fell over immediately (before I could get a picture). The rest are still buds.

These particular daffodil leaves are located in our yard in central New Jersey.”

I dared not meet the daffodils,
For fear their yellow gown
Would pierce me with a fashion
So foreign to my own.

Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886)

I found this poem on Eva’s blog – thanks, Eva!

Faire Daffadills, we weep to see
You haste away so soone -
We have short time to stay, as you,
We have as short a Spring.
