Fortissimo Daffodil, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. March 20, 2011.
It’s beginning to look more and more like Spring on the Cumberland Plateau. We’ve enjoyed some beautiful weather over the past few days, and flowers are beginning to bloom profusely.
We’ve had some yellow daffodils blooming for several days, but now some of our other daffodils are blooming as well. The daffodil above is Fortissimo. The petals are yellow, but the trumpet is orange. It’s a fairly large blossom.
Chromacolor Daffodil, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. March 21, 2011.
Chromacolor also has an orange trumpet, but it is much shorter than the one on Fortissimo. Chromacolor’s petals are a showy white. Both of these daffodils happily proclaim that Spring has sprung!

I know, I am so excited that Spring is finally really arriving. Mother Nature knows best—we just can’t rush it along.
I like your falls in the previous post. MB
