I feel pretty, oh so pretty...
Glorious daffodils on a lovely spring day at Cox Arboretum in Dayton, Ohio.
This was entered in a song challenge last year on another website and when I was considering what to enter, I saw this photo and the song from the musical “West Side Story” immediately came to mind. I liked it so much, I kept the title. This is one of my favorite images.

Narcissus is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn.
Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year.
All Narcissus species have a central trumpet-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The seeds are black, round and swollen with hard coat. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional daffodil of folklore, poetry, and field may have a yellow to golden-yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. Breeders have developed some daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments, and several wild species also have known double variants.

Rachel Stickney replied
Thanks so much, dear Sharon! This is one my favorite photos I have taken too. It’s so cool to think I can order a card of my own photo and send it to someone, telling them I took it! And, wow, that would be wild having a print up on my wall too.

This site can be very overwhelming but once you get the hang of it – its all good! I cried for about a week telling my husband I wasn’t good enough to be on here…..he told me hang on – and I am so glad I did! Excellent photo!!! Colors are gorgeous!!! Details are amazing. Welcome to Red Bubble!
Rachel Stickney replied
Thanks, Carol! I’m starting to feel a little more comfortable here now. Still cautious with adding my photos. I lurked for two weeks before I joined. I followed a lot of Webshots members who joined RB. I like it here, thanks for the welcome.

Hank Rodriguez
Wow, Rachel…And I was worried you might feel left out, and lonely??? How long before you become president of Red Bubble? LOL!
I too, am thrilled for you and I love this awesome photo. I can almost see happy faces on each flower, it is that uplifting and full of life. It also looks like the flowers are mingling with each other and telling funny stories. ...Um, should I be seeking some kind of therapy? Maybe I see things I shouldn’t….hmmmm…
Anyway….Don’t be shy. Show us your stuff!

Ronald Rockman
Rachel a poem for you
Rock
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars
that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
in such a jocund company:
I gazed – and gazed – but little thought
what wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Rachel Stickney replied
Why thank you, Rock! That is a very lovely poem from William Wordsworth. (I had to look it up… I had read it before but couldn’t remember who wrote it) Thank you for relating it to my daffodil photo! Have a wonderful day!
Tara Filliater
