The Daffodils of early spring
As Easter approaches and the landscape slowly awakens from its winter slumber, our woodland garden becomes a stage for one of spring's most eagerly anticipated performances: the blooming of daffodils. These vibrant heralds of the season, with their radiant yellow blooms, are a visual feast for the soul, symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings.
In our woods, we're fortunate to host an array of daffodils, from the modest wild varieties to the cultivated giants that boast lavish yellow skirts.
The contrast between the unassuming wild daffodils and their grandiose cultivated cousins adds depth and diversity to our springtime display, creating a tapestry of yellow that captures the essence of the season's joy and vitality.
The arrival of daffodils is a moment the whole family looks forward to, especially after the long, grey winter. Our children, drawn to the bright splashes of yellow, find it impossible to resist the allure of these flowers. The act of plucking daffodils, carefully selecting the most vibrant blooms to bring indoors, has become an Easter tradition in itself, one that not only decorates our home with the color of sunshine but also fills it with the spirit of spring.
