Spring has sprung, originally uploaded by Miss_Panama.

Photographer Miss Panama tells us: I always love daffodils. It has a lot of (good) memories. It’s a sign of the beginning of spring, when was the first time I met my other half. For me, daffodils can mean “the sun is always shining when I’m with you”.

Daffodils in Pt. Reyes, California

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

daff1, originally uploaded by ChrisA Imaginoir.

Photographer ChrisA Imaginoir tells us: The photo was taken on Mar 10, 2009 in a relatively wild area of Pt Reyes National Seashore in Northern California. I have no idea when the daffodils were first introduced to this meadow, but they’ve been growing and spreading among the native grasses and shrubs for decades.

There are now thousands of daffodils, both yellow and white, blooming for a few weeks in the spring every year. They are completely hidden from regular trails and you have to make your way though brush and across a creek to get to them, but they’re very popular with the locals who know the way…

All the daffodils there are now fully in bloom.

Daffodils at Wye Mountain, Arkansas

a david lynch dream, originally uploaded by windybug.

Photographer windybug tells us about this March 9, 2009 image from Wye Mountain: This picture is from Wye, Arkansas, which is about 40 miles outside of Little Rock. It is at a Methodist Church there. They have a daffodil festival every year. (The festival was the past weekend, but I took these pictures a few weeks ago.) I know the festival been going on for at least ten years. Here is their site.

This place is so surreal to me. I tend to have imagery stick with me, and I actually had dreams about this place after visiting the first time. I made sure to take pictures of the cross and tree that highlight many dreams for me! It is very David Lynch to me for some reason…

We grow daffodils commercially in Cornwall for the world market. There are literally hundreds of acres of daffs grown. Some are allowed to fully bloom to harvest the bulbs, others are hand picked for markets all over.
