A LOT OF MEANING...

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.

Supposedly, a thread left out overnight on a rosebush, then tied around the wrist or big toe will protect the wearer and is worn until Easter Day.

St John Chrysostom complained of this custom (see March 22) and that of tying bells on children to protect them.

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).

March 1 Baba Marta’s Day

 

William Wordsworth's short poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" has often become linked in the popular mind with the daffodils which form its main image.

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, 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!

Wishing you well and stay safe!

 

Have a fine day and thank you for your support, M, (*_*)
