Remember those 3,000 daffodil bulbs that Team Daffodil diligently planted a few months ago ? Well, we are blessed – they all came up and are looking very jolly in the early Spring sunshine on Elstead Church Green. There is just one problem — they’re not the ones we planned ! The vision was a sea of Ice Follies, cream with pale yellow trumpets — harmonising with the limestone church walls and the perfect backdrop for photos after church weddings. But it was not to be. Due to a supply error we have a sea of Golden Aura !!! So, at first I was disappointed … but the more I look at our result, the more I think it was somehow meant to be.
These very traditional. ‘natural’ narcissus flowers look pretty splendid, waving in the sunshine – and they harmonise nicely with the pre-existing clumps around the trees. And the nice people at Taylor’s Bulbs have been so helpful, offering us options to go forward, and even to help us with future plantings. We will end up with something for our village to really treasure, I think. Hoorah ! And soon our dear Reverend Hannah will be blessing them ! Hoorah ! Enjoy this Spring, folks – or Autumn if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere — which hopefully will be equally colourful !
