So so wonderful to receive the wisdom from the daffodil through your words! I adore your shares in this series and it makes me want to get out into the garden straight away. I adore the daffodils… although crocuses for me always steal my heart for that inkling of hope after winter (I remember seeing them when I was first pregnant with Sophia and had started to emerge from the first trimester underworld journey… a bit like Persephone I can now see). I think the yellow pop of colour that bursts out of the most surprising of places is like a call to the sunshine… a definite reminder of things rebirthing and coming back to life. Thank you for taking me on the journey. Xxxx
I’m still waiting to see daffodils here in Sweden, so this was just what I needed to bring the energy of sunshine and resilience into my life as spring slowly awakens in the Nordic countries.
Such magic as always, Lyndsay. I am so grateful for your series on flowers. 🫶🏻
Daffodils seem to be my two year old’s favorite flower. Today, she was flower hunting for a patch and excitedly screamed, “daf-oh-dill!! Mo daf-oh-dill!” I, too, feel the same joyous desire to jump up and down when I see their cute faces greeting me during this winter spring 🤍
I really enjoyed reading this Lyndsay and finding out more about the meaning of daffodils. They are one of my favourite flowers, I think for me they represent hope that sunnier days are around the corner, and the bright yellow just cheers me up! I love all of the pictures of the different types of Narcissus too, I'm inspired to plant more bulbs in our garden for next year.
I love daffodils, and it always makes me smile when I find the first one popping up in my garden. This year, they were pretty early, long before Mother's Day! I also loved all the links to Greek mythology!
My daffodils popped this week and they've given me the most hopeful feeling. My energy has felt quite slow and sluggish lately so I'm looking forward to the brightness and lightness of spring.
It was fun to read more about Persephone. My daughter's name is Cora so I'm familiar with the tale. As well as meaning 'maiden' her name also means 'little heart' and 'seething pool' which makes me laugh. She really does embody it all!
Lovely to see you today and hope we can make it a regular thing!
Daffodils are another typical British thing for me that I truly miss. Sure, we can get them here as well and they grow where they’ve been planted but gardens and fields are not overflowing with them in Germany and I miss their majestic crowns as they gentle wave in the wind 🥰 I didn’t by any as I couldn’t find these local rays of spring sunshine! Enjoy yours! 🌼

Oh gorgeous golden daffodils 💛
It's Autumn in our part of the world and we've just tucked our bulbs into damp soil for their winter hibernation. Enjoy those Spring beauties!
We went to see Hades Town in LONDON and I can’t stop thinking about it. Thank you for these beautiful words. Happy Easter! ✨ 🐰

This is so soul nourishing, like a beam of spring sunlight. Thank you for weaving the words and images together and sharing.
