Fields of gold, originally uploaded by ayeupmeduck.
Photographer ayeupmeduck describes this April 2, 2009 image: The shot was taken at Highfields Park in Nottingham – given by Jesse Boot (the founder of Boots the Chemist) to the people of Nottingham in the early years of the 20th century. I don’t know what type of daffodils they are – just that there are lots of them!
Bowood Lake, originally uploaded by Canis Major.
Photographer Canis Major tells us about this Bowood Lake photo taken on April 4, 2009: The picture was taken in the gardens of Bowood House in the county of Wiltshire in SE England not far from the town of Chippenham. The grounds were designed by the famous landscape gardener Capability Brown. The house, built in 1725 is open to the public as are the gardens. One claim to fame is that it was at Bowood that Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen in 1774.
Interesting park!
Photographer ashzhish tells us about this bright-eyed April 2, 2009 image: I took the photo along the Witte Singel in Leiden, the Netherlands. I was charmed both by the luxurious carpet of daffodils lining the singel amd by the ducks wandering through them. After a long cold winter, the flowers – among the first harbingers of spring – were a warm and welcome sight.

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.

This bed is part of an effort the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has started called The Daffodil Project, which aims to plant 50,000 daffodil bulbs in the parks over the next few years. This is the pilot site, where 5,000 bulbs were planted in 2007 and another 7,850 in 2008.
These daffodils are at their peak now. Melissa sends us this link to a panoramic image taken today, April 16, 2009: It’s a stitch of 48 images so you can dive and see how many daffodils you can count.
