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.

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.
