For the Love of Growing Things

These are just a few of the fresh and fragrant daffodils 
that have suddenly burst into blossom 
in a hidden garden above Discovery Bay.  


Their caretaker loves them passionately.  







She adores the variations
in their subtle/striking
colorations.




















She delights in the chrystal-like
structure of their translucent petals.






She sent me home with a lavish bouquet.

I tried my best to capture their fragile beauty.























You can only imagine the fragrance!











I wish I could remember their names.
















That's "Chroma Color" on the left!







Did you know that
daffodils are native
to the mountains of
Morocco?


Makes me think of the Little Prince and his beloved plant.







One very rare variety is the
Pineapple Prince, and I think
this might be he.
