Thank you for your kind remarks.
Well, my amateur status as a photographer is no greater than my amateur status as a botanist. I misspoke yesterday. I had an image in mind of a flower I described as a narcissus but I was really imagining a hyacinth,
like these. I knew that, and it bugged me as I walked the neighborhood last night. I intended to correct my misstatement this morning.
As I explored a little, I found out that I *have* taken pictures of narcissuses, and lots of them. I have just been associating them with the common name "
daffodil". I had no idea.
So here are a couple shots of local narcissuses, so cheery and showy. I'll try again on the hyacinths and I promise more tulips to come. I saw some beauties yesterday.
