Ceylon Daffodil: The 21st Flower of Spring!
[best appreciated at full size against black]
Another daffodil I hope you're not sick of them!!! I discovered that this one is called "Ceylon" and is very popular for its color, long lasting blooms, and hardiness. I think it's a jaw-dropping beauty!
As you can see, this is a studio shot! Why? Well, I noticed a few days ago that this flower had opened up but was leaning more and more closely to the ground and couldn't hold itself up because water runs down our hill and pools in our yard where this daffodil was growing. I thought I could help by propping it up with a rock. Then the wind came up but I didn't think about it until the next day, when I saw this flower face down in the water. "OH NO!!!" I yelled and ran over to stand it up again. I looked at the stem and to my sorrow, it was broken near the ground and only attached by a few fibers. It was essentially dead so I gently pulled it free and brought it into the house. Rinsed off and put into a vase, it's now filling the house with a lovely perfume and is quite the fetching model, as you can see! I took a bunch of low-key pictures, and then my husband took a bunch as well. This lovely flower may be dead, but it will never be forgotten! I hope that my picture does this flower justice! :)
