Daffodils: Harbingers of Spring
Yellow is such a cheery color to me, and it is always delightful to see yellow flowers heralding springtime in my area! The first flowers to appear (at least in our neighborhood) are the lovely daffodils, which are in the Narcissus genus of the Amaryllis family.
When it is time for these flowers to bloom, usually in mid-to-late February, they bloom even if it is still cold or there is snow on the ground.
Most of the daffodls, at least in this area, have flowers that are all yellow in color, but there are other combinations. Some have white petals and a yellow corona (the trumpet-shaped protrusion), some have white petals and an orange corona, and then there are these with pale yellow petals and a brighter-yellow corona:
Some varieties have white petals and white corona! The following is not one of that variety, but looks a little like it because of the way I desaturated the photo:
Thank you for celebrating this pretty flower with me, and I hope you enjoyed seeing these photos as I much as I did making and editing them! 😊

Pretty flowers... What's your favourite flower btw?
Oh, my favorite...? I have always been partial to dahlias, crysanthemums, and marigolds! Just picking one is difficult, though! Thanks for stopping by, upvoting generously, and commenting! 😊
They all sound yellow-ish type of flowers. Haha :D
Well, they could be... LOL! My favorite dahlias are the white ones, though! And marigolds can be orange as well as yellow! Variety is fun! 😊
A delightful flower. I, too, love daffodils and their the thin flavor. Do flowers bloom in your area? It's so cool. And we're still covered in snow.
Yes, we have several flowers blooming now! The daffodils were first, then the Yellow Bell bushes, then small red flowers appeared on our crabapple tree, then the flowering almond bush, and our Eastern Redbud tree started blooming yesterday! We will have temperatures down to -10°C this week, but I think spring is finally here after that! 😊
I too love daffodils! I get so excited when I start seeing the tips of the leaves sticking up in January...my favorite ones have just started blooming - I'll be out taking pictures soon. I don't know what they're called, but they are yellow spirals with little orange edged ruffles. I cherish them everyday while they last :-) Beautiful pictures!
Oh, those flowers you described sound lovely! I will be looking for the photos! 😊
They are just starting to bloom! Stay tuned...
