Easter flowers

A recent post by blogger college gardener told me that daffodils are the flowers for easter - they are called "Osterglocken" or "Easter bells" in German. Coincidentally around the time of easter I received pictures of lovely yellow daffodils from my mother, who spotted them on a recent visit to Geneva.
