Daffodils in the Serpentine Walk 2015

The daffodils in the Serpentine Walk are just coming to their best. They line one side of the path.

There are several different varieties, some all yellow and some yellow and white.

My favourite is the delicate wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) also known as the lent lily. Unlike the usual familiar all-yellow, the trumpet is as long as the pale outer petals but is of a darker yellow. These are the native daffodils 'fluttering and dancing in the breeze' that inspired Wordworth's famous poem.
