Stop and Smell the Flowers

Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 8:11 PM

This cutie was having fun today enjoying the spring flowers at Descanso Gardens. Tulips, daffodils, primroses, foxgloves and many more were in full bloom. Definitely worth the trip this week. Get there before they're gone.

Spring has come and gone but these daffodils remind us of the glory that the season brings. Bright, colorful flowers awaken the joy that nature brings as everything comes to life. We all look forward to spring as it is a new beginning and a sign of the good things to come.

Happy Easter

Nothing says Easter like daffodils. And these white ones, in a tight cluster have the spirit of the season written all over them. Watch out for those cute little bunnies and don't eat too much chocolate!

Not All Daffodils are Yellow

I don't know how many varieties of daffodils there are, but it's amazing how many aren't yellow. There are all white ones, orange and yellow ones, white and orange and a whole different world of colors, sizes and shapes. But they're all daffodils. And all quite beautiful.

Daffodil Hill

Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 9:39 PM

Near here in the mountains, on the way to Big Bear, is a place called Daffodil Hill. It was started many years ago by a lady who started planting daffodils. And each year she kept adding more bulbs. Then she planted tuplips and hyacynths in oak barrels, created paths, added benches and now she has over 3,000 bulbs planted. When they bloom it's fantastic. A blaze of different yellows and all the colors daffodils come in. I don'tknow how many varieties she has but there's probably over 15, at least.
