Daffodils ~ A Poor Man's Rose

-
Daffodils were brought to Virginia by the English settlers...they planted them by their dooryard gardens over 300 years ago to cheer their wintered and homesick spirits. These cheery blooms have been spilling spring gold in glade and meadows for centuries now...also known as 'daffy-down-dillies' or another cute name, 'poor man's rose.'
