Daffy

No birds today. I was away from home most of the day. This is one of my cousin's daffodils.

My Granny called them buttercups. They always make me think of her. She had lots of them in her garden and many different varieties. She would let me pick bunches for my teachers. :0)

Thank you so much for your comments on yesterday's female Downy.!!! :0)

i haven't seen anything trying to come up here, but you are almost tropical.

[Denise Breimeir]

Oooooh it's so lovely! Spring!!! I can't wait to see flowers here!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Beautiful shot with great composition and focus. I know that the daffodils will bloom here eventually. The plants already have buds on them.

[Carolyn White]

@chard LOL! It's sure not tropical today! Yesterday was awesome. it was warm outside and I saw three butterflies. Today was cold. It's 9:45pm here and it's 38 degrees! The weather has been crazy everywhere this winter.

Beautiful DOF! Lovely buttercup . . gorgeous colors. My first thought was, "What a wonderful granny!" Bunches of flowers for the teachers. How sweet she was. :)

Are you going to start on a flower series now? You haven't done a flower series yet, have you? This is lovely, it almost looks like a painted scene of rain in background. Gorgeous.

[Carolyn White]

@pwallis Thank you! I don't have any flowers at my house, until the wildflowers come back. I am trying to start some sunflowers to plant later. I have 4 little sprouts so far. :0)

I like that-Buttercup!! Nice memories of your grandmother! My great grandmother loved yellow roses!!

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Can't believe you already have some in bloom! Beautiful and it sounds like you and your grandmother had a special bond. She sounds so sweet and kind.

The yellow contrasts so well with the green! Lovely!
