Daffodil; from having welsh parents our garden in the spring was always covered in these beautiful blooms. They give me great childhood memories and are vibrant and colorful and really add a homley feel to any place. They also let us know that spring is on the way, my favourite time of year when colour is starting to come back into our gardens and parks, the days are coming longer and not only that they are a very affordable flower too.

Add cut-flower food to the vase; Frequent re-cutting of the stems helps prolong the life of your fleshy-stemmed
