Spring 2020: March is for Daffodils (3 of 4)

Spring 2020: March is for Daffodils (3 of 4)

 , , , , , , ,

Here is the third gallery of daffodil photos from my recent trips to Oakland Cemetery’s gardens.

Yes, these are ALL daffodils. The first two photos do show a typical daffodil structure, but with the others, their daffodilliness isn’t so obvious until you take a close look at the star-shaped arrangement of the petals toward the back of each flower. While I couldn’t identify the variants for certain by name, I did learn while searching around that double-daffodils and daffodils with clumped flowers are common varieties. I like the third and fourth ones, little bouquets on their own with a mix of white and orange petals; and the last five reminded me of … Reddi-Whip!

The previous daffodil posts are:

All of my spring posts and photos are tagged Spring 2020.

      I snuck back over to the cemetery gardens earlier today, and there’s a whole new batch that wasn’t there a couple of weeks ago! We’ve had so much rain, and a warmer than average winter, so I imagine that’s why there are so many.

      Thank you, and thanks for the comment!

      I had never seen the clumpy ones before, so thought they were pretty cool. I took some more photos this morning and will post them in a few days … lots of new, traditional ones that weren’t there a couple of weeks ago have been blooming like crazy.

      Thanks for the comment!
