A flower so pretty and versatile that I think the more we see, the better! I look at daffodils of all kinds and smile. <img title="Cool" src="http://ilovedaffodils.com/dc_includes/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /></p> <p>For me, Daffodils are the perfect flower because:</p> <ul> <li>They are gorgeous to look at</li> <li>Come in all shapes, colours &amp; sizes</li> <li>Are hardy - even I've managed to grow some despite a grey-squirrel attack on their bulbs</li> <li>You can buy a bunch of cut daffodils for a £1 - excellent value for money to bring a burst of sunshine into your home</li> <li>And planted daffodils come back year after year - they are the flower that just keeps on giving</li> </ul> <p>I appreciate the arguments for woodlands and the countryside, but think roundabouts and verges are the perfect places to cheer people up on what can be a gloomy commute to work.</p> <p>Thanks for visiting!</p> <p><a href="http://AlexKent.com/">Alex Kent<br /></a>Brighton UK</p> <p>If you like Daffodils<strong><a href="http://ilovedaffodils.com/contact/" title="Love daffodils!
