Description
How can your heart not fill with joy when you see the narcissus popping out of the ground after a long, cold winter. It does it for me every spring. Yes the crocus has already shown their colorful little faces but that is so very short lived. The hyacinth has also filled the air with it's perfume but an early spring frost always comes and wipes them away from the growing season quickly too.
Then comes the daffodils to remind us that it only takes the hardy to be a true Canadian. Frost comes and frost goes while still the narcissus continues to defy Mother Nature as they reach for the little bits of sun she allows them. Yes these beautiful flowers might look delicate in the spring light but they are true northern delights as they survive the harshest frost.

Love the softness of this beautiful artwork Leslie!

Thank you so much Lori. I always see strong character in the faces of daffodils. Especially when combined with the delicacy of paper whites.
