...go way back...and I'm happy to report that my main Daffodil beds had not the 27 flowers I thought that they would have this year, but 32!!! I am quite happy. =) (I brought 14 of them inside for a nice big vase full, made me feel quite frivolous and elegant.) Did you know:
1) There are Daffodil Festivals? Old one HERE or new one HERE.
2) Daffodils came to the Puyallup Valley around 1925 to replace the area’s dying hop industry.
3) are from Spain and Portugal.
4) 1955 was the beginning of: "The American Daffodil Society" (info about daffodils here)
5) Gloucester County, Virginia held the title "Daffodil Capital of America" in the 1930s and 40s.
6) DO NOT eat daffodils. They are toxic/poisonous. (HERE)

We had happy times together at our house in Abilene. Loved seeing the old photos. Grandma
