Day 106 - Sign of Spring

South Berwick, ME

Give us a few nice days and we start catching glimpses of a potential spring around here. These are some kind of flower that grows every year in our back yard. Yes, you've guessed it, I have no clue what kind of flower this is. I know it is yellow and it comes out every spring even though I don't actually do anything to make this so. It is a nice thing to see every spring though. (If I had to guess, I would say this is a Jon-Quil or perhaps a Lily).

I stand corrected, apparently this is some form of Daffodil. They are so popular, there is an entire society established for the education of such floral illiterates like myself. The American Daffodil Society has provided illustrious chapters of propaganda related to this flower. I now consider myself edu-ma-cated.
