Daffodils

I got introduced to Daffodils when we had to study the poem 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth. The teacher had her own imagination and explained about what inspired the poet to compose that poem and we as students also had to write a composition on the same subject. Those days we did not have the Internet to help us. I had to seek the help of my older siblings and remember getting accolades. When were you introduced to Daffodils? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Daffodil.jpg Image credit:

We get ones that grow in our yard but they don’t get enough sun or water or space so they don’t usually look very nice.

Yellow is so peaceful and to think they just grow wild one has to be blessed.

I am planting daffodils today. How odd that I would come across your posting today as well. I totally forgot about William Wordsworth until you reminded me. Thank you for that.

Daffodils are one of the Chinese New Year flowers. Besides, in my childhood there was a cartoon about daffordils but it was a sad story.

I remember going to pick up daffodils in the wild with my school mates when I was a very little girl. It seems I have always known them, my grandmother had them in her garden. They grow wild in our woods as well as in the north of Italy.

I suppose that daffodils have always been around in my life. They are pertty common in the US. I recall that poem when I had to take a full term on the Romantic Poets that included Wordsworth.

I got nostalgic reading the post as I was introduced to this flower by this poem too ; maybe it was 6th standard. It is one of my favorite poems in the English language too.
