Picking Daffodils With Grandchildren

Daffodils are one of my favorite flowers. They are called Narcissus and you can read about them here.

When I was a little girl they grew in several different places on my grandparent’s farm and Grandma Layne and I picked them together.

One reason I like them is they bloom early and signal spring is coming. I love taking my grandchildren to pick them and this year I have managed to get 3 out of the 6 to the field where we pick. I’ll get the other 3 there eventually!

I like them yellow but the grandchildren love to put them in a vase and add food coloring to watch them change colors.

Picking flowers is a lot of work but he enjoys it! Can you tell?

I love the sweet expression on her face.

They look so little in a sea of green in yellow!

Look how the little one is holding his flowers. By the time we got home and I put them in the vase I had to put the one’s I picked with his to make enough for a bouquet for his mother. They were so proud of their flowers and couldn’t wait to give them to their mothers! Pure love!

  13. Love, love, love your photos! Thanks so much for sharing. As for me I don’t pick flowers mainly because I’m allergic to bee stinks. I don’t take chances.. so is my son. With it running in the family like that I wouldn’t take the chance of taking one of my grandchildren. 🙁 But I can admire yours! Have a great day!

  15. I love these photos! Everyone looks so happy too. I also enjoyed reading about the letters that your friend found. Wow, no street or box number needed! Have a lovely day!

  16. Great shots ans what an amazing time. Thanks for sharing it with us. Love the last photo. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.

  17. I could send you some Veronica but by the time they got there they would be wilted!

  24. My husband is from Michigan and his mom and sister still live there. Stay warm and hang on….spring will be there eventually!

  26. The daffodils across the road hasn’t bloom yet. Ilove them too and your sweet grandchildren !!!

  27. I love daffodils as well but we have a long time until they bloom in Michigan. My other favorite is Lilly of the valley. They always smell so nice.

  28. I also love daffodils but I’ve never seen them growing wild here. We do have many wildflowers that fill the fields in Colorado, but I don’t pick them, as they need to reseed after blooming. I do take many photos of them so that I can savor them later in photos.

  30. What gorgeous shots – you create some pretty fabulous memories with your grandkids. They’ll treasure them. As for poor old Narcisis, he was just born too early – if he’d had an iphone back then, he would have been completely normal!

  31. Thank you so much! Coming from a master photographer like you that is a great compliment!
