March Birth Flower Print - Daffodil

Giclée Print, Hahnemühle German Etching Paper 310gsm, A3 size

Daffodils bring feelings of joy, hope and renewal as they create a sea of trumpeted yellow petals at the start of spring. As well as being the national flower of Wales, they have many nicknames across England-

Trumpets in Yorkshire

Scrambled eggs in Somerset

Nebbits in Norfolk

Daffidowndilly in Buckinghamshire and Cumberland

Julians on the Isle of Wight

Lents in Cornwall

Butter-and-eggs in Devon

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

Taken from I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud by William Wordsworth
