Daffodil Days at Ironstone in Murphys,CA, originally uploaded by Luvin’ the light.

Photographer Luvin’ the light tells us about this February 28, 2010 image: The little town called Murphys is in the California Sierra Nevada Foothills, famous for the California Gold Rush. The Ironstone Winery, in Murphys, holds a festival every March called Daffodil Days. They have thousands of daffodils planted on the grounds, some lovely displays in pots and a Daffodil plant show and contest.

It’s a big event and people come from all over Northern California to visit it every year.

Note from the editor: See information about the Ironstone Daffodil Days March 12 – 14, 2010 here. The American Daffodil Society National Show and Convention is being held at Ironstone this year from March 11 – 14, 2010.

Daffodils and Redwoods., originally uploaded by Einsteinophile.

Photographer Einsteinophile tells us about this March 10, 2010 image of foggy daffodils: The picture was taken at the main campus of College of the Redwoods, a community college district that serves Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties in Northern California. This one is located just south of Eureka, CA. Daffodils grow like crazy here! The school and a lot of other places are just covered with them this time of year. It really does a lot to brighten things up, because we are right on the ocean, and so we don’t get to see the sun much from October until about July. I took this photo when I realized that you could see the redwoods and the fog coming off of them, and thought the dark background would make a great contrast to the bright yellow flowers.

Photographer Dirt Road Cowboy tells us about this February 28, 2010 image: Daffodils at one time must have been the most common “exotic” flower in the South, as they are commonly found around old homesites. I look forward each year to seeking them out. The people are long gone from this place, but the daffodils persist, thrive even. I’m unsure as to the variety, but this was made just outside Pitts, Wilcox County, Georgia. Late February is when they first start appearing…

Sheep and Daffodils, originally uploaded by LANE5530.

Photographer LANE5530 tells us about this March 3, 2010 image: I took this somewhere between Drain and Reedsport, Oregon. I travel for my job quite a bit and always take my camera along. This scene seemed surreal to me. I remember driving by and after about a mile I just couldn’t keep on going until I went back and took this picture.

Here is a link to a larger version of the image.

promising to become daffodils, originally uploaded by corrada2000.

Photographer corrada2000 tells us about this February 27, 2010 image: The picture was taken in my garden in Neu-Ulm / Bavaria / Germany. As we live near the Swabian Mountains and just about an hour’s drive from the Alps, daffodils and flowers in general bloom rather late. The daffodils here are the common yellow kind, nothing special.
