    In Holland where I'm originally from, we call this flower Narcissus. Indeed, a joyful color in the usual gray days there:)

    Gorgeous photo, Carver. Are narcissus the same as daffodils? Well, they certainly look like spring!

    I love jonquilles. They are so welcome after the long gray winter we had. As a kid, I used to spend hours in the woods picking "jonquilles" and "primevères" for my mother.
