JOIE de VIVRE.. DAFFODILS
#AbFav_MARCH
OF ORANGE CUPS and YELLOW FROCKS… DAFFODILS
The daffodil serves as the national flower of Wales.
In Wales it is traditional to wear a daffodil on Saint David's Day (March 1).
The flower is a common decoration flower during Chinese New Year.
March 1: The Sharp Days
This was considered the first day of the year in Venice and in Russia until the fourteenth century. It was also the first day of the Ottoman financial year.
The Greeks say that good weather begins on March 1st.
The first three days of March are called Sharp Days: One should not wash clothes (for they will wear out), chop wood (or it will rot) or bathe (for one's hair will fall out).
Various Cancer Societies around the world use the Daffodil as fundraising symbol. "Daffodil Days" are organised to raise funds by offering the flowers in return for a donation.
Overall, I think it sends such a strong sign of hope, that Spring is in the air, the Earth is moving again!
I could not resist photographing those orange and yellow mini trumpets, challenging as they were!
Have a fine day and thank you for your support, M, (*_*)
