As I write this, we are in for a weekend of rain turning to snow, or maybe the other way around. So I look at my flower photos to remind myself that Spring was here, just a few days ago. The Daffodils and Crocuses jointly made the announcement, didn’t they?

The Sayen Park Botanical Garden in Hamilton Square, NJ, has an estimated 250,000 bulbs, not all of them Daffodils, but quite a few nevertheless, and more than most of us can imagine. I used to think of Daffodils as yellow trumpet flowers, like King Alfred, but now I know there are more than 2,600 different kinds of these flowers in many colors and shapes. Sayen doesn’t have them all, yet, but those that it does have are beauties, as my photos below and in the next few days will show.

You may wonder what the park looks like, so here’s a shot of a part of it.

For the past several years, I have been planting daffodils by the dozens, and even hundreds, here and there around the house. They are now starting to appear in many shades of yellow, brightening up everything, especially when sunlight illuminates them.

Daffodils. A gust of wind was bending and swaying these, forcing me to bump up the ISO to increase shutter speed and freeze these trumpets.
