Still in the Museum Gardens, and there are several areas of daffosils. These with the longer narrower trumpets caught my eye, so here they are.
Seeing daffodils here is a reminder that I need to take a walk around the city walls, since the earth banks below the walls show a carpet of daffodils at this time of year. Several varieties are used, and that and the different directions the walls face means that different areas of the walls have a good display at different times, so several photo oppostunities to come.
The motte (mound) on which Cliffords Tower is built is one of the first places that daffodils flower, so I need to visit there as well - I've already seen some lovely photos of it and its daffodils on Facebook.
One of my first memories of York was as a young university student, visiting my oldest friend who was studying there. As I walked out of the station, the bank below the city walls was covered in daffodils.
You are quite right, the sight of all the daffodils on the bank across the road from York railway station is a really spectacular sight. Years ago when my mum was able to bring herself to York on the train, we used to time a visit to coincide with the daffodils in flower. It was one of her favourite memories of York.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
There is something special about seeing daffodils flower - they are such a cheerful sight!
