It will be a week or two until the "daffies" in the park are up and blooming, but I could not resist bringing home a gorgeous bouquet of heirloom specimens from a tin pail near the entrance to a village market a few days ago.
Everyone nearing the place stopped to look at the narcissi on display, most of us heading home with a generous bunch clutched in our paws along with coffee beans, artisan cheese and freshly baked croissants. Gotta love weekends!
Daffodils are the essence of springtime, and the blooms have a delicate, sweet fragrance with just a hint of spice. Lovingly arranged in a jar in the dining room, the velvety white petals and glowing centers make my heart glad.
