Daffodils

With the mild weather daffodils are coming out in gardens and also in the wild. Above patches of daffodils are blooming on the banks beside the disused railway track in Lower Largo.
Wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) - Wordsworth's Daffodils.

The first of Wordsworth's daffodils blooming in the Serpentine Walk. 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.
