To think that daffodils are a bit thick really?

[justcly]

Six inches of snow, and there they are, poking their heads through, in full bloom. Clearly they will have frozen in no time. Is it asking too much to expect them to think it through?

I wonder what the point of daffodils is? Nothing is around to nosh their nectar or pollen. Are they just there purely to cheer us up d'ya reckon?

Maybe to try and make us forget about floods, rain, snow, wettest February on record, floods, corona-virus, floods, rain, high winds, fires destroying entire countries, corona-virus, floods, rain, storm damage, Brexit, pointless celebrity deaths, one severe storm a week since the last week in January...

Did I say floods? As you may have guessed, I am in an area that has been devastated by the floods. And there's more to come.

Sorry lovely daffs, you pretty cheery faces haven't done the trick for me.

@CookieSue222 love that
@sarahjconnor that's the first thing I thought when I read the reply!

@SarahTancredi 😂

The bastards haven’t attracted any bees or ladybirds... and they’re hanging very limply.
Should I have a word with them?

Cornish Daffodils are thick as fuck. I don’t think they were quite as early this year, but last year one flowered on New Years Days FGS.

The magnolia trees are in their pomp too here, and getting blown away with every passing storm.

We've got tulips poking out of the snow - not in flower yet but about 6 inches tall.

1Morewineplease - there's no point. They just act dumb. And then talk about you behind your back.

After a shitty week I read this post last night and today driving everywhere I've seen those plucky bastards, windswept and flooded, oddly placed on a verge, surrounded by rubbish, in the middle of waste ground and I've been cheered by-as pp - said their brave optimism.
Aside they are actually amazing as they are one of the few flowers that rabbits and deer won't eat. This leads me to believe they are not thick just misunderstood.

WouldShouldCould Daffodil bulbs are poisonous so that may explain the reason that rabbits and deer won't eat them.

Not so much misunderstood, as evil.

I think it's because winder has been moved a few months on. It used to be November, December and January but now it's February, March and April. The poor Daffy's haven't been notified about the rescheduling.

It happened a few years ago here and I was devastated at the potential loss of my yellow beauties. The snow melted, they looked floored and then rose from the apparent dead. They have thought it through. They're just fucking with your head.

Yes I know this is a zombie, but I was thinking of it today as I saw some daffy nobbers in full bloom in Jan.

And then I saw the date and my username feels like a lifetime ago.

Look at me, I’m out first, I’m all yellow. Showoffs
