Flowers of Rochester: Daffodils
Daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) are one of the few flowers in my garden that don't get chomped down by deer, squirrels, or other rodents. That's because underneath their golden beauty is an alkaloid poison. Looks sure are deceiving though, because they are one of the most cheerful, ubiquitous flowers around.

Double daffodil - Highland Park, Rochester, New York
This looked more like a gardenia than a daffodil to me, but apparently the group known as double daffodils have clusters of petals such as this one.
Woooooow! I just love your photo's Basia! Ahhhh spring, we're heading
into a gray winter at the mo... sigh... thanks so much for sharing some
beautiful colors in our day!
Absolutely beautiful! And my wife appreciated the ladybug, she’s obsessed
with them.
Wow...
My absolute favorite flower. Thank you for these fantastic photos!
This weekend was the daffodil festival in Meriden, CT, which I missed. So I
was very happy
that you provided photos for me of this happy flower. I want to know @ the
blue background too...they look regal. (Also, when I forward your flowers I
become very
popular!!) Sharon
I know I sound like a broken record, but those pictures are absolutely
amazing Basia!!!! Everytime I open a blog... I am just in awe of your work.
WOW
Donna Gardner: Aaah yes, I remember those winters in the summer,
down under...;o)
