This particular daffy stood out for me in the original photo, he seemed to be reaching for an extra share of sunlight over his buddies. Thanks to young Merv at Camera Club tonight, I finally figured out how to make it look the way I wanted it to.

The Daffodil is a remarkably designed flower. There is no other flower similar to it. If only they would last longer in the garden. We can enjoy them for only about two weeks a year. / /

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. Canon A720 IS / f/4 / 1/125 sec. / April 2008 / minor cropping and slight sharpening © Rachel Stickney 2008 / ~~ / 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.

Featured in Mood & Ambience March 21, 2009. BEST VIEWED FULL SIZE! I snapped this guy in the early morning of March 19, 2008. Although the crocus actually precede the daffies and the jonquils in our yard, we don’t count them as true harbingers of spring. Fact is, the crocus only last about a day or so before the deer eat them. So when the daffies and jonquils come up we know it’s really, finally spring!!! The blooms on these are about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Image taken with the Nikon D40x with the 55-200mm VR lens.

Must be footy finals fever – looking at the ‘body language’ of these daffodils just brings to mind an Aussie Rules footballer taking a spectacular mark, or specky, on the backs of his opponents.
