It was Daffodil Day today and in support of cancer research, I bot 3 bouquets of daffodils and gave them each to my colleagues, Lynn and Dianne, as well as my mum-in-law.
According to the website, the daffodil was chosen as the symbol of hope for all touched by cancer because of its reputation as a hardy annual flower, pushing its way through the frozen earth after a long winter to herald the return of Spring, new life, vitality and growth.
I never really like Daffodils but they look really bright and pretty, being yellow in colour. I have a renewed appreciation for it and my colleague, Dianne, put her daffodils on her desk and I can look at it everyday now, til it withers.
