I have more items for the Winter Scavenger Hunt by Joy and Eileen to show you. There is a link up at Eileen’s blog today.
Item 6 A puddle
Im sorry to say it has not been difficult to find a puddle around here lately!
Item 5 A snowman
I love the little face on this snowman
Item 4 A star
I saw this star from the top of a bus by the houses of parliament I thought the whole thing would be lit but no, but I do like it.
Item 3 Outside lighting
This was one of so many beautifully lit trees around Canary Wharf in London just before Christmas. It was magical
Memorandum Monday:
I have daffodils in the house, my first this year.
Paul asked me what the difference between a daffodil and a narcissus was and as I was telling him I thought “this isn’t right” so I stopped speaking and looked it up. For someone who loves to know and use the botanical name for plants I was shocked!
Narcissus is actually the botanical name for all daffodils. The type most often sold under the name “narcissus” is actually a different species, Paperwhite Narcissus, which is a smaller plant with smaller, white flowers. Blimey! Oh! and jonquils are Narcissus too. Thank goodness for Sian at High in the sky. I’ve written it down, its gone from head to hand to paper (well electronic paper) that way it will stick.
Waving to you on a bright Monday 1st February afternoon. Hope you have a good week
well I didn’t know that, I always thought that narcissus were the white ones with the yellow.
Love the photos.
Now I didn’t know that and I’m a great daffodil lover. None in the house yet this year, but I’ve spied them peeping through the earth when I’ve been out and about, already!
That’s a good one to know: I can store it up now and I bet I’ll find it as a crossword answer some time in the future. Thanks Miriam!
Wishing you a good week
Lovely Daffodils (aka Jonquils, which I like to say with a French accent or otherwise Narcissus). Like you I enjoy hunting for facts, it’s that curious gene Sian spoke of.
Nice WPSH photos
Great finds for the hunt. I like the reflection in your puddle. I think I kind of knew that about narcissi but I am not so sure that I can spell it!
I know I’ve heard that information before, and I also know I’m not likely to remember it well enough to pass it on. The puddle photo is awesome, and you’ve got quite a good start on the hunt!
feels like changing winter to spring scrolling down your photos – great set for the hunt and I didn’t know that about daffs either. have a great week
I did not know this, Miriam.
Thank you!! 🙂
I just love the reflection in the first photograph.
Nicely seen by you, my friend. xo.
Not sure if I knew they were the same flower or not, but I’ve always just called them all daffodils!
Love the star!
Need to get my last 7.

Love your scavenger hunt finds.
