Wordsworth's Daffodils

Wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) - Wordsworth's Daffodils

There are many varieties of daffodil growing wild in the local area, but this one growing in the Serpentine Walk is a much slenderer plant than the garden varieties. Unlike the usual familiar all-yellow, the trumpet is is as long as the pale outer petals but is of a darker yellow. These are the daffodils 'fluttering and dancing in the breeze' that inspired Wordworth's famous poem.
