Can’t stop, won’t stop ... gushing about Daffodils

Daffodils are blooming all over St. Louis, and even though I am overwhelmed with deadlines for this, that, and about fifteen other things, I WILL TAKE TIME TO GUSH ABOUT THE DAFFODILS. And smell them. Admire them. I will study them. I will hold them by their straight stems and stare deeply into their coronas. I will snip several of them, carry ’em into the house, and then do these things all over again, as they look a little different when they are in the house - brighter and poppier and possibly even more beautiful. Here is a bouquet I trimmed last spring in the rain, and then enjoyed for days inside.

Try it sometime. Cut those flowers. Bring them inside or to work with you. Watch and marvel as your day edges up a notch in awesomeness. Or better yet, bring them to a neighbor’s house, and let them enjoy the glow of nature.

After the daffodils are finished, or heck, even while they are blooming, wouldn’t it be wonderful to capture the beauty of a mix of them, and keep it in your cards and creations for days, weeks, years? And to share that joy with your neighbors, friends, and family?

Let’s do this!!! Presenting my newest set in clear: Daffodils!

This set takes the highly popular (I would say I can’t keep it on the shelves, but it’s a digital image, so....) Dancing with Daffodils, presented in clear polymer. And then, a SECOND focal image that I worked and reworked, then reworked some more to get the right balance of daffodils, jonquils, and companion flowers — after erasing and retooling, I finally went with Grape Hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum). With these images I’ve given you some sentiments for those times when somebody needs a hug, and to know that you are there for them. Daffodils in clear is going to be one of those sets you just want to have in your arsenal. I can feel it. ;)

The Bloom Brigade, honestly, has outdone themselves on this one. I feel like I say that each time in some fashion, but people, how do they continue to up the ante on how cool a card can be? GO SEE WHAT I MEAN!!
