    Windy,Love your sea of gold.What a lovely site to behold every morning.I expect they are for the cut flower market...
    When we were down your way the other year we saw fields of blue Agapanthus.That was breathtaking as well but we were on the motorway so couldn't stop :D

    :D :D You should have seen it Valentines Day, half a dozen guys getting bunches for their wives on the way home from work :D :D Same every year!!! :D
    To be honest, I'm not keen on Daffs. Although the fields do cheer you up in this bad weather :rolleyes:

    Yes, that yellow is nice and cheerful! (Unlike the rape yellow - that hurts my eyes!)
