Byway daffodils

Last autumn the Parish Council planted another 400 wild daffodils bulbs of 2 different species on the byway. These are in addition to the 400 bulbs planted the previous year. Being wild species, the plants and flowers are smaller than the more common domestic varieties. Additionally newly planted bulbs may not flower in the first year. This is indeed the case for around half of those bulbs planted last autumn.

The Firsdown conservation group have also planted daffodils on the verge at the top of Firs Rd. As these get established, they are being transplanted further along the verge.
