Daffy-down-dilly
Has come to town
With a yellow petticoat
And a pretty green gown.
Whenever I see the first daffodils of the season, this little nursery rhyme pops into my head.

Memories of childhood nursery rhymes
Daffy-down-dilly
Has come to town
With a yellow petticoat
And a pretty green gown.
Whenever I see the first daffodils of the season, this little nursery rhyme pops into my head.

What a lovely piece of art. We have radish, lettuce and spinach coming up and waiting for the snap peas to show their little heads. Spring is here Jennifer.

Daffy-down-dilly is a daffodil flower. Richardson, who created the illustration above, got it right by drawing the lady's dress like a daffodil.
