A grassy bank in Bingley's Myrtle Park is currently resplendent with 'a host of golden daffodils' and they were indeed 'fluttering and dancing in the breeze', just as William Wordsworth described in his famous poem. The display is called 'Field of Hope'. The bulbs were planted some years ago by pupils of the nearby Myrtle Park Primary School to commemorate the cancer care charity Marie Curie, whose emblem is a daffodil.
Daffodils are always a welcome sight after a long winter, though I do find they often look better in reality than photographs would suggest. Somehow they are not the most obliging of flowers for a camera - so leggy and the heads seem to face in random directions.
Wishing everyone a happy Easter weekend.
They are like a yellow carpet. Very pretty. It's great that the children planted them.
ReplyDeleteThe Daffodil Weekend at nearby Thriplow had to be cancelled again this year, like so many outdoor events. Charities will miss out on the money usually raised at the very time when we need them the most. It's very difficult to get any detail in daffs on sunny days.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! And so obliging--multiplying year after year.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that is their secret - daffodils point in all directions simultaneously and thus put on a terrific show! We too wish you a joyful Easter week-end, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect for Easter weekend! We are just starting to see a few of them here.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty. We see them in the beginning of May here.
