Beautiful flowers, easy to grow, can be very spectacular to see the flowers in open paddock. The flower is also the symbol of 'cancer awareness'. A matter of fact today is the daffodils day in Australia. It is time that we buy cut flowers, and the money is raised for cancer research.
There are varieties of daffodils, the golden is so bright and beautiful, but some of them have orange in the centre, and also the petals are variegated white and yellow.
I planted some daffodils too, and they are happily growing in pots.
The potted daffodils are in the backyard and almost in flower, soon we will enjoy the blooms. The advantage of having potted plants is that you can move around.

I add here a note from the Cancer Society - Daffodil Day.
Daffodil Day is the Cancer Society's annual flagship event and one of the most important fundraising and awareness campaigns in the country. As well as providing an opportunity to raise awareness of cancer in New Zealand, Daffodil Day is a significant funding source for the Cancer Society. We are proud to be regarded as one of the country's most trusted charities, and this is reflected in our fundraising practices.
The daffodil is one of the first flowers of spring, whose bright yellow blooms remind us of the joys the new season will bring. It represents the hope there is for the 1 in 3 New Zealanders affected by cancer.
The donations we receive go towards vital scientific research into the causes and treatment of all types of cancer, as well as providing a wide range of support services, information, health promotion and education programmes to reduce cancer risk, awareness campaigns and plans for people affected by cancer.
ANZ is the proud principal sponsor of the event, and the hard work of its employees helps focus the nation's attention on our cause every year.
Daffodil is not only pretty flower, and maybe it has medicinal properties. I must learn more about it.
I hope you have a good daffodil day.
Until Next Post
