Trees above seem dead and dun;
fragile early wood wild daffodil
shines in March’s gentle sun,
dances in the frisky breeze.

[Near Dymock, Gloucestershire, home of wild daffodils. 14/3/23

We went there four years ago about this time, and I think the daffodils were more advanced, and we probably found the stronger sites. https://www.abctales.com/story/rhiannonw/wild-daffodils-field-and-meadow ]

"...fragile early wood wild daffodil.."

Synonymous with spring. A beautiful image, Rhiannon. Lovely photo as well. Who doesn't love daffodils?! Paul

True, and thanks. The trumpets of spring reflecting the sunshine! The wild ones seem so delicate. Rhiannon

It was lovely to read your poem Rhiannon, with its touch of seasonal colour.

Although it's cold, our garden daffodils have been out for nearly two weeks, they look a bit forlorn at 7am, but soon lift their heads as the day progresses. I've even seen bees in the garden which is great news.

Glad to hear you're out and about.

Jenny.

Thank you, Jenny. They do give such cheerfulness don't they? I do love the wild daffodils which don't grow in this area. We had to search for these but were so glad to see them. I don't think I'm up to the longer walk yet! Rhianno

Very lovely Rhiannon. I was very worried about the few open daffodils in my garden as the frost had squashed them flat this morning, but they're up and happy again now - phew!

Thank you. and glad to see your daffodils recover!

I was glad to focus on those lovely daffodils dancing in the 'frisky' breeze. Rhiannon

I thought you expressed in a few lines what is the emergent beauty of the daffodils, especially now in our delayed spring; a nice one Rhiannonw. Dougie
