Had to!

Given the Tamar valley was a major exporter of daffodils due to Cornwalls temperate climate, I had to blip them! ( they still export to this day! See here! )The daffodil industry took over from the declining  mining industry. During the war the fields that grew daffodils were used for crops and the bulbs thrown into the hedgerows - which is why our lanes are so colourful. It is said they represent a living history of the variety of bulbs that were once grown. Apparently the transportation of flowers by rail was banned during the war as the priority was  war supplies - people were even fined if found carrying them in their luggage! Churchill lifted this a year later after the The isles of Scilly sent him narcissi and he stated how they would cheer people up in the dark days of the war.
The Tamar Valley is still known for the variety of daffodils and narcissi, in particular it's Double White, and  the National trust Cotehele House just next to me has a festival  each year with varieties dating back to the 17th Century!
