Hope

"She turned to the sunlight and shook her yellow head, and whispered to her neighbour: 'Winter is dead.' By A.A. Milne." Daffodils symbolize re-birth and new beginnings. I find it meaningful that spring comes first in the calendar year. I think that daffodils give us a message of hope. Every fall I plant a new clump. Can one ever have too much hope?

  2. Isn't it a wonder that these beautiful yellow flowers bring hope that spring is coming! We don't have any blooming - yet - but they are working on it. Glad that spring flowers are already blooming for you!

    1. I think there are yellow, orange, white, cream and pink daffodils along with various combinations of the above colours. This year I am anxiously waiting for the white, no maybe it is creme....but none of mine have any pink....at least not yet. Do you have snowdrops yet?

  5. I was just, moments ago, surprised by blooming daffodils in my sister-in-law's yard. I thought it was too early for them!

    They truly are hopeful, aren't they?
