Daffodils in the garden

The daffodils are in full flower in the school grounds.  Daffodils grow from a bulb, the embronic flower is stored in the bulb all winter and grows together with the leaves in spring. After the flower dies and produces seeds the leaves continue to grow and produce food which is stored in the bulb and they also produce energy which is used to form the flower for next year......

Daffodils were origionally plain yellow and grew in the wild.  Plant breeders selected the best of these and cross bred them to produce various colours, shapes and sizes.  Here are just a few of the different types we have growing in the school grounds.  When you are out in the grounds see how many you can spot. FIRST AND SECOND CLASS PLANTED DAFFODIL BULBS LAST OCTOBER.
