I can take or leave a
daffodil. Yeah I get why people like
them and don’t get me wrong, when they first pop up in Spring I am as pleased
as anybody to see them all unapologetically zingy yellow. I think they were perfectly personified in
Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, aggressive and honky, I can’t see them without
being taken back to that film. However,
dare I say it, I find them a tad boring.
Maybe its over exposure, you would think they were the only thing that
flowers this time of year, after all you know what people say: variety is the
spice of life.
That being said, I have seen a
daffodil display this year that even I was quite taken with. A local private school at some point last
year must have employed some poor soul to plant at least a thousand daffodil
bulbs because this year suddenly a vast sea of them have appeared for the first
time right next to the road. Evidently
the school must have decided the grass verge needed livening up at this time of
year. There is no denying it does look good.
I think anybody would be impressed with a solid 500 metre stretch of
yellow trumpets and I thought it was definitely worthy of a few
photographs. Not so sure I would be as
thrilled at this use of school fee money if I was paying to go there
personally, but as Im not, its very nice! Im not sure the photos do them justice but you get the general idea..
