Daffodils

Daffodil Fairies, The Illustrated Fairy Gazette
"Daffy-down-dilly has come to town, in a yellow petticoat and a green gown."  Every spring, when Ontario is still in freezing weather, I bring home the little pots of mini-daffs and other bulbs to brighten the windowsills.
Mini Daffs and Muscari
 They look so pretty, it leads to paintings.

Even the smallest blossom merits a portrait.
Mini Daffs and Paint Water
One idea leads to another -  flower teacups like these.
Flower Teacups, Daffs
And so on, to a garden of teacups on my RedBubble shop. 

All from a pot of daffodils.
