First Daffodil of Spring

This is the first daffodil of spring around our house. I have planted quite a few bulbs.

 

As a child, I distinctly remember the first daffodil of spring every year. It was a mark of spring arriving. My dad planted several thousand(!!) bulbs of various varieties in the woods behind our house. After a few decades of maturity, the entire hillside in those woods are covered with flowers.

 

Spring arrives a bit earlier in California than Columbia, MO. We'll get a few flowers through February, but nothing like the clusters and clumps of Missouri.
