daffs picThe bright splash of yellow welcomes visitors to Ford Park Cemetery with Daffodils in bloom, heralding the prospect of Spring. 

The Romans first introduced this joyful flower to Britain but it is the national flower of Wales. They are associated with celebrations of the 10th wedding anniversary and they are said to bring happiness if given as a gift. It is easy to see why they are regarded as symbolic of hope and can be uplifting as we emerge from the dark days of winter.
