Daffodils are some of the earliest flowers in the spring, spreading bright yellow beauty across a gray landscape. In the northeast U.S. they seem to come out "too early" as there are always deep frosts and snows after they bloom. While that weather would normally kill most flowers, not the Amazing Daffodils.
Here are some photos of a patch of daffodils....on a timeline from this spring.

Frozen Daffodils - 19 degrees F at night for 2 consecutive nights - they feel like hard rubber - kind of strange.

Another Bed With a Full Blanket of Daffodils
In watching this progression of the amazing daffodils I have come to realize that Mother Nature is very intelligent and powerful in creating a beautiful, harmonious landscape with harmony amongst diversity.
