La Banne d'Ordanche or Hillegom?


The city gardeners of Oxford, having realised with shock and sadness, that the Brexicological madness prevents me from going to La Banne d'Ordanche this year, decided to plant up the park land area in front of my house with daffodils.  Daffodils as far as the eye can see.  Never seen that before in Oxford! Almost like a flower-field in Hillegom, that bastion of Dutch bulb merchants.  Enjoy!


















Other flowers tried to steal inside the daffodil enclosure, but few succeeded

The gutter was the only place left for this humble dandelion

Aconites, I think, behind the railings

The yellow dots are the aconites

Grape hyacinths in full bloom

And here is one of La Banne d'Ordanche, as a comparison - practically the same!
