7 Day Nature Challenge – pt 2

I was nominated by a fellow blogger, Stella of  Giggles & Tales, for a 7-Day Nature Photo Challenge.  Stella’s blog is always full of interesting posts, which are a blend of poetry, photography and perspectives on the world around her.  Go check her blog out!!

In this second post in the series, let’s celebrate the Vernal Equinox!!  Yeah, it’s Spring in the Northern Hemisphere (don’t forget to say hi to Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere).

Daffodil Time!

Today’s nature photo is one of my favorite flowers, the Daffodil.  Their design makes for such an inviting, pleasant flower, calling all pollinators to come in from the breeze.

In terms of color varieties, I prefer the yellow-petalled with the slightly orange trumpet over the white-petalled or overly ostentatious orange trumpets.

Which varieties do you like best?

    I love the ‘traditional’ yellow daffodils too. I have some with a peach trumpet, they’re very pretty but the yellow’s are still the best. Daffodils are the true indicator that spring is here. Hurrah!

      I agree that they are the Spring tide!
