Magnolia Trees and Daffodils at Kew Gardens, originally uploaded by Laura Nolte.
Photographer Laura Nolte tells us about this March 23, 2011 image: The daffodils at Kew are in full bloom now, there’s a stunning carpet on the Broad Walk; but not just there, they’re growing everywhere around the gardens. The area around the magnolia trees is my favourite part of the gardens at the moment–the colours of the cream and pink magnolias and the yellow daffodils look so pretty together. It’s a very lovely spot.

Gardening writer and photographer Alan Buckingham tells us about this March 21, 2011 image: It’s a shot of an area of woodland carpeted with naturalized daffodils (cultivar unknown). The wood is part of Painshill Park in Surrey, England, an estate created in the eighteenth century by Charles Hamilton. Following his Grand Tour of Europe in 1725-7, Hamilton deliberately set about acquiring land and creating a “landscape” of ornamental pleasure grounds, lakes, open parkland, an Alpine valley, a grotto, and a vineyard. His ambition was to recreate his experiences in his own backyard, so to speak. The Park is full of artfully placed follies, included a Gothic temple and tower, a ruined abbey, a Temple of Bacchus, and a Turkish warrior chief’s tent.

Photographer mafleen tells us about this March 24, 2011 image: These rabbits live in the city center, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, near the Civic Center. Still wild and not at all domesticated. There are always nice plantings in the park round the building and traffic doesn’t seem to phase them.

Photographers Kevin and Seri Crawley tell us about this March 2011 image: Always together, this pair are almost impossible to expose properly due to the colour schemes involved. The BlackEast Indies Duck is a most beautiful animal – and its plumage is actually many subtle shades of green.

Farm Pond with Daffodils–Webb’s Chapel Road: Crisp, Edgecombe County, NC, originally uploaded by EdgecombePlanter.
Photographer EdgecombePlanter tells us about this March 16, 2011 photo: It is on a rural road in southern Edgecombe County (which is in northeastern North Carolina. The road is Webb’s Chapel Road. It is a small pond right beside the road that the Macclesfield Volunteer Fire Department uses for their fire truck tanks. Evidently, the fire department members must have planted all of these bulbs, which really caught my eye today. I had really never seen this place before, and I was born and raised in this county only about 7 miles away. It is quite a pretty place! I don’t know much about the variety of daffodil this may be, but it is a pretty common one around here and is often used for naturalizing and spreading.

Photographer JamesDavid2007 tells us about this March 18, 2011 image: The photo was taken in Hyde Park in London, in the evening after a day of rain, when the sun was slipping down through the area of sky between the clouds and the horizon. 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.
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.
The bike is a Pedersen, designed about 120 years ago by a Dane, Mikael Pedersen.
