 A Pheasant's Eye daffodil (Narcissus Poeticus Liliaceae) from my yard. I cut it and held it up in front of the late afternoon sun to get interesting shadows from the "eclipse." These are one of my favorite daffodils, pretty and fragrant. I have at least 10 different kinds blooming right now ... they have even survived the dogs' running about this year!

Good pun, but nothing special
