When I first laid my eyes on the golden field of daffodils I immediately thought of this poem; my favorite actually. And of course the flower is for the month of March ~ my birthday. I see Spring in my thoughts but no where near the show I see on the British blogs. Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures.
