Throwback Thursday: Daffodil day
"A host of golden daffodils .... fluttering and dancing in the breeze," so wrote the poet William
Wordsworth.
But he would have found it impossible to "wander lonely as a cloud" at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens on September 19, 1948.
A Sunday stroll in the gardens has long been a ritual for Christchurch folk but the daffodil lawn has attracted more than the usual crowds this Sunday. It is the 10th anniversary of the annual Daffodil Day observance.
Framed by the band rotunda, left, and Avon River footbridge, right, people celebrate the occasion in their Sunday best.

Very disappointed that our front garden had a 14 bud Christmas Regal Lilly cut and taken with several others last night, but what it lead others to do was worse damage. They ripped out other flowers and some may not recover. Do not come back tonight, as we are cutting all of them today.
