They come from little bulbs innit

 

Dunno about the daffodils, but a few years back I used to go up and down the newly upgraded A46. I noticed that once they'd dug out the espace for the road and laid tarmac, that they'd plated a whole load of saplings down on the embankments.

Obviously there's some greenie working for the highways agency.

 

Those saplings were probably carefully chosen so they'd grow into trees that provide good sound absorption, not too big so they don't loom over the road and don't produce great wads of slippery autumn leaves that make the road treacherous.

It might well be that the Highways Agency do plant some initial daff bulbs on embankments, and the daffs spread by themselves into great clusters over a few years.

 

I used to pick daffodils for money in my Easter holidays. When I first started I got 1 1/2p per bunch.

 

Eastern Europeans will do it for 1p a bunch

 

Nah it's about 10p a bunch now. I'd make a fortune if I could be arsed bending down all day.

 

It`s a Welsh thing see? I often have a big bag of daff bulbs in the boot and wherever I stop to empty my bowels I tend to pop a few bulbs in while it is still steaming as a little reminder of all those places that I have `visited` up and down the country

There`s lovely, glad you enjoy seeing them all

 

I have some in the garden, daffodils that is, not eastern Europeans.

 

Our Council plants them at every junction in the lanes.

 

Plants what......eastern Europeans?

 

For the love of god don't ask
